Hi All,
My husband and I are planning to visit Europe in May, for 3 weeks.
Is there anyone who had obtain a Schengen visa in Singapore?
We are planning to visit Greece, Spain and France. Which embassy is more friendly and efficient to get the Schengen visa?
Thank you in advance

Usually, they require you apply at country of entry, so if your list is accurate, it will be Greece.

I think the rules state either the country of entry or the country in which you will be staying the longest.

As I understand it, you apply for the visa from the embassy of the country of entry.

Thanks all. I sent them an email and here's their reply, just for your info. "the Consulate-General of Greece in Singapore does not issue visas. For the issuance of short-term entry visas (Schengen visas) Greece is officially represented in Singapore by the Embassy of France."

It's either the country of entry, or where you will stay the longest.
Also, most countries don't have visa facilities. Greece is helped by France, Norway by Denmark and so on.
I would go with France any day. Just speak first few words in French (Bonjour/ Salut, comment allez vous will be a good start), and they're half on your side

Got mine in german embassy though my point of entry is france, but because i i stayed in germany the most, i decided to get it from there. My visa was approved and i got my passport back after 4 days.
As long as your requirements is complete, it should be easy for all embassies.

Thanks for all your replies. Appreciate that. I already got my visa and already got back from Europe in May lol
Well, it’s not hard to get a travel visa, it’s just a waste of time (and money). I got mine in French embassy in SG, they are quite friendly and efficient, I got my passport back in 3 or 4 days.
The UK visa was insane though; they returned my passport after 3 weeks!!!!
