Many European countries share a common short-stay visa, the Schengen visa. We help you apply to the right country, build a clear itinerary and prepare the documents the consulate expects to see.
Visa options
- Tourist visa – a short-stay Schengen visa for holidays and family visits.
- Business visa – a short-stay Schengen visa for meetings, trade fairs and conferences.
- Student visa – longer study stays usually need a national visa from the country where you will study.

Who it is for
This page is for travellers from India visiting one or more Schengen countries for tourism, family visits or business, and for students planning a course in Europe.
General documentation
- A valid passport with blank pages, and your previous passports if you have them
- A day-by-day itinerary with flight and accommodation reservations
- Travel medical insurance that meets the visa requirement
- Financial documents, such as recent bank statements and income proof
- Employment or study details, such as a leave letter, a business letter or a college letter
Requirements usually vary with the visa type and your personal circumstances. The exact checklist depends on your profile and the current embassy, VFS or official checklist, and Miras confirms it with you at consultation.
Application process
- Consultation: you tell us about your plans and we suggest the visa category that fits them.
- Document check: we review your documents against the current checklist and point out anything missing or unclear.
- Application and appointment: we help you complete the application for the right country and book your appointment, usually at the official visa application centre, for biometrics and document submission.
- Decision: The embassy or consulate of the country you apply to reviews your application and makes the decision. We help you follow its progress and explain the next steps.
