Hi Oto, thank you so so much for this detailed video So my question is; for the proof of funds, does the money have to be there all at once at the time of application? Or do they just need to see transaction from the account? Also, I don’t have any employment and I work and have a business. But I only registered it with the CAC last month but my account has the transaction for all the funds that use to come to my company so I was wondering if I could show a CAC document but show the transaction from a Personal account Finally, for the proof of funds again, does it all have to come from one account or can I show them statement from more than one account Becusee I have a target account and a current account

Hi Oto, Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I just want to ask, is there anyway I can make flight reservation without payment for longer than 48 hours? I ask this because you mentioned NOT paying for a flight ticket until you get a visa. I am concerned because all the reservations I have come across seem to expire after a short period if payment is not confirmed. Will this not affect the visa decision; that is if the visa officer tries to verify your ticket reservation and the result comes back as nil?
@thewakaholic

Depends on the airline policy. Unpaid reservations are cancelled by airlines after the given time. However, you can still present the itinerary for the purpose of planning your trip.

Hi Ota, thanks for this video. I need an advice. Can I transform a Schengen visa to a residence permit? Reason is I want to move to the Netherlands but I work remotely for a company in Argentina and earn very well. I've even travelled to Argentina recently to attend the company's conference. But I don't want to move to Argentina, I want to move to Netherlands because I have friends there and I prefer it better than the Argentina. But however I can't apply for a student visa because I don't want to study (school don tire me). Or work visa cause I don't have a job in the Netherlands. How do I go about this? What's the best route for me to take?

Hi David, My suggestion here would be to use the remote work visa provisions from countries within Europe to your advantage..if you earn quite a bit then there's options around the schegen area like remote visa provisions to work in Czech, Estonia, Portugal, Malta, Spain and Croatia. Iceland Probably find the closest location to the Netherlands.. From one of these countries you can easily get to the Netherlands not permanently though.. you go and come and it's pretty cheap moving around Europe in budget airlines, buses or trains If you wanna move permanently though you gotta find a job or school in the Netherlands and go from there..
