Let’s walk through the step-by-step process to secure your Schengen visa, starting from India and heading straight to Paris.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Before you start the application, it’s essential to confirm that you meet the visa requirements:

- You must have a valid passport with at least 3 months validity beyond your planned date of departure.
- Proof of travel insurance covering medical emergencies, accidents, and repatriation.

Step 2: Gather Your Documents
For a successful Schengen visa application, you’ll need:
- Valid passport
- Visa application form
- Passport-size photos (according to specific guidelines)
- Travel itinerary (flights and accommodation details)
- Travel insurance details
- Financial proof (bank statements or sponsorship letter)
Viscrave Advantage: We provide a checklist and tips on how to get each document in order—no surprises!
Step 3: Fill in Your Application
Viscrave offers an easy-to-use digital platform where you can:
- Fill in your visa application form online
- Upload documents directly from your phone or computer
- Get real-time feedback on your submission
Why it’s easier: Unlike traditional methods, you don’t have to worry about handwritten forms or missing details. Viscrave takes care of the technicalities.
Step 4: Schedule Your Visa Appointment
Once your application is filled and documents uploaded, the next step is booking an appointment with the embassy or consulate. Schengen visas require an in-person appointment to submit biometrics (fingerprints) and additional documents.
Viscrave Perk: We assist you with scheduling the appointment and provide you with all the instructions for a smooth visit to the embassy.
Step 5: Attend Your Visa Interview
At the embassy or consulate, you’ll have a brief interview where they’ll verify your documents and reason for travel. The consulate may ask about your financial stability, travel plans, and accommodation arrangements.
Viscrave Tip: Practice your answers beforehand. You can also reach out to our support team if you need guidance on what to expect.
Step 6: Wait for Approval
Once you’ve submitted everything, the waiting begins. Schengen visa processing can take anywhere from 7 to 15 days, depending on your country and embassy workload.
