Overview

A Schengen visa lets Indian travellers visit 29 European countries on a single short-stay tourist visa. You apply through the embassy (or VFS centre) of the country where you’ll spend the most time, attend a biometrics appointment, and receive a sticker visa in your passport. Holiday Vibez prepares your file end-to-end so it meets consulate requirements the first time.
