Who needs a Schengen visa?

How do I apply for a Schengen Visa from India?
If you live in India, you will first need to work out which Schengen Visa you need, depending on your purpose, the length of your trip, and how many times you plan to visit. The standard Schengen Visa, for trips lasting up to 90 days, is a short-stay visa, with longer stays requiring a work or study visa. Multiple-entry visas are also available if you plan on traveling regularly to the Schengen Area.

Indian nationals must apply for your Schengen Visa no more than six months, and no fewer than 15 days, before your trip. It is advised you apply at least three weeks before you leave, however, to allow for any delays in the processing of your application. Then you need to fill out your application, obtain all the documents you need for your Schengen Visa, and attend an interview at a consulate, embassy, or visa application center in India.

How much does a Schengen Visa cost in India?
A Schengen Visa from India costs 80 euros

You must pay administration fees (related to the administrative processing of the request). The amount of the fees must be paid to the visa service when submitting the application: either online if you have made a pre-application which you submitted your file.
The fees are not reimbursed in the event of visa refusal.
The price of the Schengen Visa varies according to the age of the person concerned:

Adult: €80 (around ₹6,620)
Child from 12 to 18 years old: €80
Child from 6 to less than 12 years old: €40
Children less than 6 years: free
Certain external service providers mandated by the Swiss consular authorities may charge service fees. They are not refundable even in case of refusal of visa application.
