Europe — Switzerland, France & Italy visa

Filed at the embassy or its appointed visa centre, sometimes with an appointment and biometrics. The slowest route, and the one where document quality matters most.

The Schengen short-stay fee is EUR 90 for an adult and EUR 45 for a child aged six to eleven, plus the VFS service charge; the INR figure here is the two added together at a typical rate and moves with the euro. Indians are now issued long-validity multiple-entry visas more readily under the cascade rules, but the 90-days-in-any-180 limit still governs the stay. The EU Entry/Exit System takes fingerprints and a facial scan on first crossing, so allow extra time at the border, and ETIAS is expected to follow — we confirm the current position before every departure.

Visa type: Embassy visa
Entry: Multiple entry

Documents in
You send us the checklist below. We check every page before anything is submitted — a rejected file usually fails on formatting, not on merit.

Day 1
Filed at the visa centre
Your passport goes to the centre and stays there until the decision. Do not book anything that needs the physical passport during this window.
3
Days 1–15
Under assessment
Working days only, and the destination’s public holidays do not count. Peak season adds to this — plan for longer, not shorter.
4
Day 15
Outcome to you
The passport comes back with the sticker inside. We check the spelling, the dates and the entry type before it reaches you.

Common questions

Is the Europe — Switzerland, France & Italy fee shown here guaranteed?

No. It is a researched, current estimate. Consular fees move with exchange rates and with policy notices published at short notice, and Dreamvaca confirms the exact payable amount in writing before filing.

How long does the Europe — Switzerland, France & Italy visa take?

15 working days is the current published guide. Add a week of buffer, and two in peak season.

How long can I stay?

Up to 90 days, with multiple entries. The permitted stay is what the immigration stamp says, not what your ticket says.

Fee

₹13,150per person

One all-in figure: the consular or portal fee plus Dreamvaca’s filing service. We do not publish a split, because the government portion moves with the exchange rate and would be out of date the week we printed it.

For your party

Rules change. We check at filing.

Visa policy for Indian passport holders is revised without notice. Every figure on this page is verified against the consulate’s published position at the time of writing and re-verified the day your application is filed. It is never a guarantee of entry.
