Schengen Visa Assistance — 29 European Countries

A Schengen visa is a single short-stay visa that allows Indian passport holders to travel across all 29 Schengen member countries without separate border checks or separate visas for each destination. Visa Agency helps applicants from Patna, Ranchi, Raipur and Bhopal choose the right country to apply to, prepare a complete document set and plan a well-documented Schengen application. Requirements, fees and processing times are set by the relevant embassy, consulate or visa application centre and can change without notice.

Getting Started

Which Schengen Country Should You Apply To?

You cannot apply to any Schengen consulate you like — the rule is based on your itinerary:
Visiting only one Schengen country — apply to that country's consulate.
Visiting several countries with one clear main destination — apply to the consulate of the country where you'll spend the most nights.
Time split equally across countries with no single main destination — apply to the consulate of the country you enter first.
No consultancy, including Visa Agency, can guarantee visa approval for a Schengen visa or any destination. Visa decisions are made solely by the relevant embassy, consulate or immigration authority. We help you identify the correct country to apply to and present a complete, well-documented application.

FAQs

Schengen Visa, Answered

What is the Schengen Area and how many countries are in it?

The Schengen Area is a group of 29 European countries that have abolished passport and immigration checks at their mutual borders. A single Schengen visa lets you travel freely across all 29 member countries during its validity, instead of needing a separate visa for each one.

Which Schengen country should I apply to?

As a rule, you apply to the consulate of the country where you will spend the most nights during your trip. If your time is split equally between two or more Schengen countries, you apply to the country you will enter first.

How long can I stay in the Schengen Area on this visa?

The standard short-stay (Type C) Schengen visa allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, across the Schengen Area as a whole — not per country.

Is travel/medical insurance mandatory for a Schengen visa?

Yes. Every Schengen visa applicant must show travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000, valid across the entire Schengen Area for the full duration of the trip.

Can I visit multiple Schengen countries on a single visa?

Yes. A uniform Schengen visa is valid for travel to any and all Schengen member countries within its validity period — that is the core benefit of the Schengen visa over applying to each country separately.

Is the United Kingdom part of the Schengen Area?

No. The United Kingdom is not a Schengen member and requires a separate UK visa. Visa Agency also assists with UK visa applications — see our dedicated United Kingdom visa guidance.
