Providing info for visa
So I am in the process of filling out the online bit of the visa application and wow, is it ever something!
For the countries visited in the last 10 years I am looking at a list of about 40 countries. A bit of a nightmare, but I'm sure there are others here who have it worse! I am wondering what the general consensus is for multiple entries? Ie, as a Canadian I transit the US frequently, I should just use the date of the most recent entry, correct?
Also, for post secondary education, just the school at which I obtained my degree? Or do I need to include previous universities where I ended up dropping out of the program?
As this is a 'humanitarian' or volunteer visa, does anyone know if I will need to go through this all over again for a subsequent tourist visa? Any chance the info will be "stored" for a period of time?

I feel your pain, but you are getting off lightly.

Well worth a read.

That sounds beyond horrible. I had no doubt someone would put me in my place for whining over my relatively easy predicament! Thankfully I am aware how easy it is for me 99% of the time, but I had no idea how much worse it could be!

I am in the process of completing the application for a Russian visa and am wondering how I should treat entires to the Schengen zone. Only the country that I entered is stamped in the passport. Does it make sense to just list that country or do I need to actually list the countries in which I stayed/visited.
Example: this past week I visited Finland. But I entered and exited Schengen in Amsterdam. the NL stamp is the only one on my passport. Should I just enter The Netherlands as the country visited?
Many thanks!

My experience has been that one runs out of space long before even getting to this question. That said, I also have very little Schengen to Schengen travel.
