Application for a type C visa for France

Really cheap travel insurance thanks to the comparison. I was able to obtain an insurance certificate for a short stay in France (1 month). It was very easy to get the certificate with the insurance I had chosen.

Application for a long-stay visa from South Africa

I came to visit family in Germany for 15 days. Coming from South Africa, a Schengen visa is compulsory, and the site enabled me to find a really cheap one because I wanted to spend as little as possible on this insurance, as I don't have any health problems.

Long visa for France from the United Kingdom

I came to study and I had to take a long visa for France. The cost of insurance is quite high on the other sites I'd seen. This site saved me over a hundred euros on my insurance.
