Are you finally going on a Europe trip? Well, we’re sure you’re super excited about this, as you should be. Every year, loads of people from India plan a trip to Europe and although it’s a costly affair, it’s so worth it. And now that the Schengen visa is here to make things so much easier, people have started opting for the Europe trip even more often than they used to in the past.
It’s no secret that having the Schengen visa is the top priority required to go on a Europe trip. Once people have the visa, they get the authority to travel to any Schengen territory from any of the member countries. And since India is not amongst the visa-exempt nations for the Schengen, it makes things a lot easier for Indians. So, here are some tips that will help you deal with the Schengen visa with ease and will help you plan your Europe trip very easily.
- As per recent rule changes, applicants can now apply for the visa 6 months prior to travelling so this actually allows you to make plans way ahead of when you want to go on the trip.
- Make sure you select the right purpose for your visit since you'll have the option of applying for a Schengen or National visa.
- You also have multiple categories for entries like single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry visa categories so apply for the one which works best for you.
- Carry all the required documents for your appointment and make sure to submit your biometrics too. While the usual time is about 15 days for you to gain access to the visa, sometimes it also takes 30-60 days. And depending on the embassy's decision you will finally be handed your visa.
