Schengen visa requirements

Build a complete, consistent file so your case is decided smoothly.

Overview

About this visa

Schengen applications are document-heavy and detail matters - inconsistencies or missing documents are a common cause of refusal.

A strong application brings together your itinerary, accommodation, insurance, proof of funds and evidence of ties to your home country in a single, consistent file.

We make sure nothing is missing and that your documents tell a clear, credible story before you lodge.

Frequently asked questions

How does the 90/180 rule work?
A short-stay Schengen visa lets you spend up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across all Schengen countries combined - not 90 days per country. We help you plan your travel so you stay within the rule.
Which country should I apply to?
You apply to the country that is your main destination - usually where you will spend the most time - or, if there is no main destination, your first point of entry. We confirm the correct country for your trip.
How long will my application take?
Processing times vary by visa type and change regularly, and they depend on your documents and personal circumstances. We give you a realistic, up-to-date estimate for your situation and keep you informed while the case is assessed.
Can I include my family?
Many visas let you include a partner and dependent children, either together with your application or by adding them later. We confirm exactly who you can include and prepare their documents alongside yours.
Do I have to visit your office in Jalandhar?
No. We work with clients across India and around the world. Your case can be handled entirely by phone, email and video call if that is easier for you.
