Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Italy. Apply through VFS Global centres in India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh). A short-stay tourist visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about INR 7,200) for adults, EUR 40 for children aged 6 to 12, plus a VFS service fee of about INR 2,000. Processing takes 15 calendar days, extending to 30 to 45 days during peak summer (May to August). Italy is one of the most popular Schengen visa destinations for Indian applicants, so book VFS appointments well ahead.
Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the Schengen departure date with two blank pages, completed application form, two passport photos (35x45mm), travel medical insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum coverage, confirmed round-trip flight itinerary, hotel reservations for each night of the stay, bank statements for the last 3 months (roughly EUR 80 to 100 per day), income tax returns, employment letter with salary and leave approval, and a detailed day-by-day itinerary. If Italy is the main destination (most nights spent), apply at the Italian mission regardless of which Schengen country you enter first.
