Hello, thank you for much for providing all the details:) it’s been very helpful. I want to apply for visa for my mother. Could you please tell if we have to provide a detailed itinerary like we do in tourist visa? Like I will have to include the activities for every single day? Can I simply mention that my mother wants to spend Christmas, new year and my birthday with me and travel few cities in Germany? Can I include in the cover and invitation letter that I want my mother to visit for whole 90 days? I would be grateful if you could please answer my questions .

Could you also please tell what does this means “evidence of legal residence of family/fds visited: copy of passport “ this is written under invitation letter.

Thank you very much in advance
