Indian applicants qualify for Schengen short-stay visas (Type C) when meeting standardized criteria across all 29 member countries, ensuring safe return and legitimate travel purpose.
Valid passport with sufficient validity: Your passport must be issued within the last ten years, remain valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area, and contain at least two blank pages for visa stamps, allowing Future Fly Services to verify compliance before submission.
Recent passport-sized photographs meeting biometric standards: Provide two color photos taken within the past six months, sized 3.5 x 4.5 cm on a plain white background with forward-facing view covering 70-80% of the face, essential for VFS Global scanning and embassy processing.
Travel medical insurance covering 30,000 Euros minimum: Secure comprehensive insurance valid across all Schengen states for the entire trip duration, protecting against medical emergencies, hospitalization, or repatriation costs, which our Delhi team arranges with approved providers.
Proof of financial means and accommodation: Submit recent bank statements for three months, salary slips, or sponsor letters demonstrating sufficient funds (typically 50-60 Euros per day), plus confirmed hotel bookings or invitation letters covering your stay.
Clear purpose of travel with supporting itinerary: Present round-trip flight reservations, detailed travel itinerary across Schengen countries, and purpose-specific documents like hotel confirmations for tourism, invitation letters for business visits, or enrollment proof for short courses.
Employment or socioeconomic stability evidence: Working professionals need leave sanction letters, business owners require company registration and tax returns, while students provide enrollment certificates—all proving strong India ties to assure timely return post-visa validity.
Future Fly Services Delhi experts review these requirements holistically, maximizing approval rates by addressing common pitfalls like insufficient ties or incomplete financial proof.
