vicd1969 Posted March 8 #1 Share Posted March 8 I have someone who wants to join my travel group for an upcoming July HAL cruise that leaves from Rome and visits Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece. She would be added as a third passenger on an existing booking. She is not a US citizen and with her nationality, will need to apply for a multiple entry Schengen visa. The chicken or the egg (or Catch-22) question: The visa application information from the Italian consulate says that she will need to provide documentation of her lodging in Italy (ie the Cruise reservation) and round-trip flight reservation (ie, Flight Ease booking). However, when I spoke with a TA from my travel agency that I used, she said that the person has to get her visa application in order - first before being added. Thus, this sounds a bit of a dilemma. Does anyone know what the right precedence should be for getting her on the booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use flight ease. or book a fully refundable air ticket then cancel after you get the visa. I would think a TA would be more accommodating by providing a booking now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
