General Requirements:
- A valid Indian passport (issued within the last 10 years, valid for at least 3 months after return date);
- Completed Schengen visa application form with recent passport-sized photo;
- Travel medical insurance with at least €30,000 coverage (valid in all Schengen countries);

- Cover letter explaining purpose of travel and itinerary;
- Visa fee (non-refundable), payable at the VAC or consulate.
Biometric data (fingerprints and photo) is mandatory for most applicants and is collected during the visa appointment at the VAC.
Minors under 12 are exempt from fingerprinting. Additional documents such as birth certificate and parental consent may be required.
Visa processing time is typically 10–15 working days, but it may vary. Apply well in advance.
