Schengen (Europe) visa for Indian travellers

Starting checklist for Schengen (Europe)

• Travel medical insurance with at least 30,000 euro cover for the whole trip
• Day-by-day itinerary with hotel bookings for every night
• Passport valid for at least 6 months from your return date, with 2 or more blank pages
• Old passports, if you have travelled before
• Recent passport-size photos with a white background (we check the size each country asks for)
• Bank statements for the last 6 months, signed and stamped by the bank
• Income tax returns (ITR) for the last 2 to 3 years
• Proof of work: salary slips and a leave letter, or business registration and GST certificate
• Return flight and hotel bookings for the trip (we prepare these with your itinerary)
• A covering letter explaining the purpose and plan of the trip (we draft it for you)

This is a starting list. The embassy can ask for more depending on your work, travel history and purpose. We send the final list for each traveller. Approval is always the embassy's decision.
