How's your foreign visa experience(interview?) to travel for tech conference/event?

I got Schengen visa on first try.

I had flight (2-way), hotel, transportation etc. covered and already purchased by my client. I also was able to show my ties with Nepal in terms of wealth, family, etc.

I think these 2 are most important for travel/event visas irrespective of travelling country.

And yes, the process sucks because you would need to spend a lot of time preparing documents and you are basically stripped by the Embassy.

However, the interview itself was pretty chill. Unlike US visa where you are treated as sheep without any dignity.
