Visa & Entry

Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Germany. Apply through VFS Global centres across India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and others). A short-stay tourist visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about INR 7,200). Processing takes 15 calendar days from the appointment date, but during peak season (May to September) it can reach 30 to 45 days. Biometrics are collected at the VFS centre. Book appointments at vfsglobal.com/germany/india.

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, biometric standard), travel medical insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum coverage, confirmed flight itinerary, proof of accommodation, bank statements for the last 3 months (no fixed minimum, but roughly EUR 100 per day), income tax returns, employment letter with salary details and leave approval, and a cover letter with a day-by-day itinerary. Germany has one of the higher Schengen visa refusal rates for Indian applicants (around 15 to 18%), so documentation completeness matters.
