Frequently asked questions
Which Schengen country should Indian citizens apply to?
You apply to the embassy of the country where you will spend the most nights. If the nights are equal across countries, you apply to the country you enter first. Applying to the wrong embassy is a common reason Schengen applications are refused, so Travelzeego checks your itinerary against these rules before you submit.
Does one Schengen visa cover all 26 countries?
Yes. A Schengen visa issued by any member state allows travel across all 26 Schengen countries for the period granted, typically up to 90 days within any 180-day window. You still lodge the application with a single embassy.
What documents do Indian citizens need for a Schengen visa?
A Schengen application from India typically requires a passport valid for at least three months beyond your return, recent photographs, travel medical insurance with a minimum of €30,000 cover, proof of funds, confirmed flights and accommodation for the full stay. Travelzeego shows the exact checklist for Indian citizens.
How much does a Schengen visa cost for Indians?
The Schengen visa starts from ₹7433 (INR) on Travelzeego, including the embassy fee and Travelzeego's assistance. Final pricing is shown before you pay.
