Will I be granted a Schengen visa if my bank statements are not yet three months old?

Question

I'm from Zimbabwe.

Is it necessary for me to print for a proof of payment of travelling medical insurance in my email and add it in my application document for Schengen visa to Germany?

I did not have a bank account but have opened one three days ago and deposited $50.

Is it OK to continue depositing $50 and will they grant me the visa?

Answer 1

• Tourist travel in Europe can easily cost USD 50 a day or or more if you are a typical tourist. That doesn't count the flight to Europe. Your trip will probably cost you several thousand USD.
• The visa officials want to see if you can reasonably afford that much. That doesn't just mean you need enough money in the bank account, you also need a steady income to explain where the money came from and why you will spend it on a holiday.

Your disposable income needs to be much higher than USD 50.
