Get your visa when you’re ready, not a day before.
Know the moment you’re ready to file.
Meridian checks every document against the embassy’s rules and tells you the moment you’re ready, so you apply only when it’s a yes.
We read the rules. You get what you need.
Border rules are scattered, technical, and different at every consulate. We read them for your route, so the list you get is only yours.
How applying works
Gather your documents
9 required. Upload what you already have, we read them and fill the rest.

Then the consulate decides
Typically 15 calendar days.
The system isn’t broken. It’s a business.
Nigeria’s Schengen rejection rate hit 45.9% in 2024, third-highest in the world. Every refusal forfeits the €90 visa fee, none of it refundable.
Zoom out and it is the same story at scale: 1.7 million Schengen applications were refused in 2024, about €145 million in fees, none of it refunded.
Most of those rejections were documentation you could have fixed before paying. That’s the gap Meridian closes.
The embassy keeps the fee either way. We only charge once you’re actually ready to apply, so we’re the only one in this with a reason to get you in.
Travel visas first, then work, study and long-stay, route by route.
Each dot is one applicant. Gold was rejected.
Your passport and bank statements are the most sensitive things you own. We guard them like it.
Encrypted by default
Your passport, statements, and letters are encrypted at rest. We hold them so you don’t re-upload them every time.
Case-scoped vaults
Each application sees only what it needs. Nothing leaks sideways between cases or to anyone else.
