Your Madagascan passport (original plus a copy). You must provide your original Madagascan passport along with a copy of your passport, which must have a three-month validity period from the date you leave the Schengen area. Your passport must also contain two blank pages and have been issued in the last 10 years.

Identity photographs. You must submit two identity photographs following the Schengen visa photo guidelines; the photos must have been taken in the last six months. Please note that the number of photographs changes depending on which country you apply for the Schengen visa.

Civil status certificate. Please provide civil status documents such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, family certificate, or death certificate (if applicable).

Proof of accommodation. You must submit proof of hotel bookings/reservations, Airbnb reservations, or proof that you will stay with a family member or friend.

Round-trip Flight Itinerary. A booked flight reservation from Madagascar to the EU and back. If you take any internal flights, you will have to include those tickets too.

Proof of paid visa fee. You must also include the receipt proving you have paid the required visa fee; otherwise, your application will not be processed.

Cover letter. You may also be required to submit a cover letter for your Schengen visa application in Madagascar. The cover letter must contain information about why you are applying for a visa, what you plan to do during your stay, how long you will stay in the Schengen Area, etc.

Copies of previous Schengen visas (if applicable). If you obtained a Schengen visa before applying for a new visa, you must submit copies of those previous permits.

Birth certificate and proof of parental consent (if applicable). In cases where minors are applying for a Schengen visa, the application package must also contain their birth certificate and parental consent for travel if they travel alone or with only one parent/legal guardian. Please note that for minors, the application form must be signed by both parents/legal guardians (one is acceptable if extenuating circumstances apply).

Proof of enough financial means. To obtain your Schengen visa, you must submit original copies of your bank account statements showing transactions in the last three to six months and the account balance or proof of regular income.

Depending on your employment status, you also need to submit the following documents:

If employed:

An employment contract and certificate of annual leave from the employer.

If self-employed/freelancer:

Business license (if applicable).

Business bank statements.

If a student:

Certificate of registration at University, school, or college.Your student ID card, a copy of the registration certificate from the faculty signed and stamped by the university, and your grades transcript. Evidence of financial stability of your parents. Proof of employment contract or proof of enough financial resources for your stay.

If retired:

Bank statement showing the pension received for the last six months.

If a friend or relative is inviting you to visit them in any Schengen country, you must include the following documents with your application:

Invitation letter. You must submit an invitation letter from a friend or family inviting you to visit them. Your host or inviter must write the letter detailing your relationship and the reasons for the visit; they must sign their letter and provide personal information, such as full name, address, and contact information. In the letter, your host must also state they will cover your expenses.

Guarantee form. Some embassies may ask you to submit a filled-out guarantee form which the embassy will provide for you. Your host must fill out the form, sign it, and give it to you so you can submit it with the rest of the documents. Depending on the country, you’ll come across different names for the form, such as “statement of liability”, “declaration of commitment”, etc.

Your host’s passport. Your host must also include their passport number and, if required, a copy of their passport.

Proof of your host’s residence permit (if applicable). If your host lives in the Schengen Area with a permanent residence permit, they may be required to submit a copy of their permit.

Proof of accommodation. If you’re staying with your host during your visit, some embassies may require them to submit proof of rental agreement or ownership of the property to verify your accommodation.

Prepare your cover letter well.

Good luck.
