Schengen short-stay visitor visa

Up to 90 days in any 180 across 29 European countries.

Overview

About this visa

A Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa lets you travel across the Schengen area for tourism or business for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

You apply through the country that is your main destination, or your first point of entry, and the visa then lets you move freely between member countries.

Applications are document-heavy, so we assemble a complete, consistent file including itinerary, insurance and proof of funds.

Frequently asked questions

Why are visitor visas refused?

Most refusals come down to the officer not being satisfied that the visit is genuine and temporary, or that you have enough funds and strong reasons to return home. We help you present clear purpose, sufficient funds and strong home ties.

Can I get a visitor visa to see family?

Yes - visiting family is a common and accepted reason to travel. Where you are visiting relatives, we prepare a proper invitation and supporting evidence to strengthen your application.

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.
