As a recent graduate, what is my “current occupation” for a Schengen visa application?










5















I just graduated from my university and am accepted in a Summer School in Hungary related to my studies, for two weeks. I'm going to apply for a Schengen visa.



What should I mention as my occupation since I've graduated and I can't have proof of ongoing studies?



Does this affect the visa process?

          You have recently graduated and are now applying for a Schengen visa in order to take courses in Hungary.




          I'm gonna apply for a Schengen visa but what should I mention as my
          occupation since I graduated and I can't have a proof of ongoing
          studies?




          You can put down "Prospective Student"




          and does this affect the visa process?




          Everything you put down on the application affects the outcome, and 'Occupation' is no different. Your 'occupation' tells them what to look for in assessing your personal circumstances, so don't over-decorate your occupation beyond what it actually is or they will worry if you are presenting yourself accurately.



          "Prospective Student" is fine.
