Questions

Schengen Area visa FAQs

Specific to this destination.

Which embassy should I apply to?

The country where you'll spend the most days. If equal, the country of first entry. We'll help you pick the right consulate to maximize approval odds.

Do I need to appear in person?

Yes — Schengen visas require biometric submission at the visa application centre. We book the appointment for you.

What if I get a 1-year multiple-entry visa?

Frequent travellers with clean visa history can be issued multiple-entry visas valid 1, 3, or 5 years — significantly better than per-trip applications.

Why are Schengen visas refused?

The most common reasons are weak financials, unclear travel intent, missing documents, or insufficient ties to India. We pre-vet every file before submission.
