INDIAN PASSPORT. NEW POSSIBILITIES.
Less “what do I need?”
More looking forward to being there.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Apply to the country of your main destination / longest stay. For equal stays, use the first destination. The consulate should have responsibility for your place of legal residence.
Schengen is a travel area, not one country’s application process. Your destination’s consulate determines its detailed checklist and appointment procedure.
FROM PLANNING TO PASSPORT STAMP
Between 6 months and at least 15 days before travel
Use your main destination and residence to identify where to apply.
Collect your travel, financial and insurance evidence.
Submit documents and biometrics where required.
Review validity, permitted entries and the number of authorised days.
A LITTLE PREP GOES A LONG WAY
Choose your profile, tick off what’s ready, and take a copy with you. Additional evidence is marked “if requested”; your local application centre makes the final checklist.
CLEAR FROM THE START
