How to open multischengen? Is it easier for a journalist?
Please share at least a simplified scheme for opening a multi-Schengen. I am a journalist, head of the department of a newspaper, a ministerial newspaper - in my case, are there any pleasant nuances for opening a multi-Schengen visa? And how long can I expect a visa?

Generally speaking, the visa application center (anyone) does not care whether you are a journalist or an astronaut. Surely colleagues from any country of the Schengen agreement can send you an invitation to enter the country for work.
And in terms of duration, this is how: usually the first multivisa is given for six months for 60 trips, and the next ones for a year for 90 trips, well, or as you request.

Thank you!
About "whatever" I heard otherwise. Allegedly, journalists are treated more loyally in terms of refusals. But I can't get the details.

Journalists are a dime a dozen now. The mere possession of a journalist's identity is not a reason for opening a multivisa.
Oksana, you need to be creative))) If you cannot prove that your journalistic activity must necessarily include business trips to Schengen, then you have nothing to catch. Just having a journalist's ID is not a reason for opening a multivisa.
But! On the website of any Schengen country, in addition to the main list of documents for everyone, as a rule, there is a list for journalists. They are similar but slightly different. Conduct an investigation))) Compare how the conditions of different countries differ, what are the conditions for accreditation for events, and so on.
You have to "invent" the need to constantly publish materials about the results of such trips. The legend should fit into the theme of the newspaper. For example, if this is a music magazine about culture, then you should go to the muses.
festivals, concerts and other cultural events.
If the newspaper is historical, then all sorts of military cemeteries, memorials ...
If medical, then to profile exhibitions, to interviews with specialists, to universities.
Do you understand? You really need to prepare several trips and it is desirable to write at least something about it later)))

That is, you must be "accredited" in advance for some events, fortunately, now there are a lot of free accreditations for all sorts of events. Preferably a few with breaks in a couple of weeks or a month and ask for a cartoon. The first Schengen and immediately the cartoon is unlikely, but it happens.
You also need to prepare an answer to the question why you didn’t have to travel so often before, but now you do.
If suddenly you have acquaintances in foreign companies, it is easier to invite them to invite you with the rationale for frequent visits. You, they say, will write a series of articles and so on. In short, you need to think everything over and hope for success)))
They treat journalists with loyalty if they can justify their trips. By the way, the cartoon is not necessarily given. They can regularly issue visas, but one-time. This happened too.
But I have not heard that there are any real simplified schemes for journalists.

And there was no question of speculating journalistic status for personal Schengen purposes))) I really want to go to the next level of journalism - of course, why be cunning, and see the world. But, as you understand, I will not be able to write about what is not interesting to me. That is, everything is logical: interesting-food-writing.
It's about something else. The consulates employ real people (or non-humans, sorry)))), who, even with reasonable motivations for entering the Schengen, slap refusals - and without explanation. As an ordinary tourist, I have more NOT chances than chances - not married, without property and te te. So I wanted to know what would win in the fight: the factor of journalism (journalists can’t help but travel around the world, this is nonsense!) And already some kind of position - or the factor of unmarried-unmercenary))) Therefore, I’m doing reconnaissance in battle, but is the game worth it vychinki, if everything is so difficult with visas.
I am also "reconnaissance" among journalists - but so far they are silent - there are not so many international journalists.
hatinka, I wanted to compliment you: this is not the first time I have read your comments on this forum - and every time I am pleasantly amazed at how you can correctly (regardless of the mood of the interlocutor), easily and intelligently answer on the forum)))

There is another idea - to write an article about the visa center where you will apply. EU-sno, in the most rosy (in a good way, now this epithet is not used there) tones. Bring the article with you when submitting documents. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words)))
I will add on the topic that in the case of just "interesting-food-writing" it is more difficult to obtain a visa, in my opinion, than "I have already written-interesting-food-writing."
One desire and intentions are often not enough for them, they want to make sure that you decided not yesterday to devote a year of your life and career, for example, to the study of ancient artifacts in Greece. They will want to see that earlier, you wrote several articles about the Greek cities of the Crimea, interviewed the director of the museum, wrote about terrible black archaeologists and all in the same spirit...
If you bring ready-made earlier publications in the press "on the topic", the chances are quite high and the fact of marriage is the tenth thing here. Maybe from your publications and publications of the entire department (you are the head) there will be materials that will be enough to develop the topic and connect it with frequent trips to Schengen.
Journalists receive visas without any problems if they really go on assignments from the editorial office and their trip was agreed with the "Schengen" side. If you want a visa, then you need to "invent" justifications. And this is creativity!
Creative success)))

Tell me, how did you solve the issue of multi-visa, did you open it for journalists? I'm just in the same situation, so I'm wondering what my chances are

Today I received a passport with a Spanish multivisa. She filed as a journalist, a member of the NUJU. Everything is fine, the goal was an editorial task. No problem receiving, so go for it! :)

From personal experience. It is very easy to get if you have an International Journalist Card, where there is an official address of the international federation in Brussels. Such a green certificate in Russian-English. In addition to the application form, insurance policy, visa fee, submit a copy of this certificate and a letter from the editorial office write and attend what events. The editorial board bears the expenses - business trips. + you can have a personal bank account. 1st entry to them. If you know the exact date, book a hotel via the Internet and that's it. will ask questions.

All of you are pancake theorists, the press card of Brussels, accreditation to the event, invitation of foreign colleagues and other heresy.
You need a letter from the editor-in-chief, a certificate of your editorial office, a bank statement and a booking reservation and you will get an annual multi-Schengen visa for 5 days for free, and it will be official!!!
