Backend statistics are authoritative only for the fields returned by the API. A 2025 Schengen statistics record is not, by itself, a live passport × destination visa-rule decision. Always confirm the destination's official immigration source.

🛡️

How to verify a visa is real

Check it only through the official government or embassy portal of the destination country.
Compare every field against your own passport and application.
Be suspicious of anyone who guarantees approval or demands cash.
If in doubt, contact the embassy directly using their official website.

This is general awareness guidance only. Always confirm visa validity through official government sources.

🔎 What to check, point by point

💡

UV light test

Under UV light, a real visa reveals hidden fibers and watermark symbols.

🔠

Text & spelling

Unified machine font and exact wording. "Etats Schengen" must be spelled correctly — errors are a sign of forgery.

🔢

MRZ code

The two bottom lines must exactly match your name, passport number and nationality.

✨

Security features

Look for a hologram, color-shifting ink and a two-tone background pattern.

📅

Remember your process

A real Schengen visa requires an in-person biometric appointment. A sticker without one is fake.

🏛️

Official database check

Contact the embassy, consulate or official centre (like VFS Global) for a manual record check.
