my wife is applying for a schengen tourist visa on tuesday, and we are now finalizing all the documents. i'm a bit concerned about the financial statements....as someone could conceivably get up to no good with the account numbers.

do you think the embassy will look less favorably on the application if the account numbers are blacked out?

posting any experience you have related this matter would be greatly appreciated.

IMO your fears are not justified.

However, as long as the financial statement has your wife's name on it, there's probably no reason they need to see the actual account number.

thanks for your reply.

we submitted the statements without the numbers redacted.
