The Schengen Visa permits short stays and is affixed as a sticker on your passport. It allows for a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period. The exact validity period is specified on the visa sticker under "Duration of visit." A single-entry visa grants access to the Schengen area once, as denoted by "1" under "Number of entries." Alternatively, a two-entry or multiple-entry visa allows for two or more entries, indicated by "02" or "MULT" respectively under "Number of entries."

No, not necessarily all Schengen Visas will be granted for 90 days. You may get the Schengen Visa only for the number of days that you present in your travel itinerary and your flight & hotel bookings

The Schengen Visa cover letter is a letter which summarizes your intent to travel to a country that is part of the Schengen area. In your cover letter you should explain: - the purpose of your trip - when and where you intend to travel - how your trip is going to be funded - day-by-day itinerary for your trip - duration of the trip

You cannot extend your short-stay visa while in Sweden except in special circumstances, and exceeding your permitted period of stay is considered an act of illegality or criminality. Instead, you must return to your home country within the permitted period of stay and apply for another Sweden Visa if necessary.

Typically, a Sweden Visa (Schengen Visa) takes anywhere from 5 to 15 days to process in the France Embassy/Consulate. The processing time for a France Visa is dependent on several factors and can change without notice at the consulate's discretion.

As from 2nd November 2015 following the introduction of the Visa Information System (VIS), all Schengen visa applicants in India have to appear in person in order to provide biometric data (fingerprints and digital photography). The photograph can be digitally taken at the time of the application or scanned from an existing one. For subsequent applications within the 5 years the fingerprints can be copied from the previous application file in the VIS. In case of reasonable doubt regarding the identity of the applicant, the consulate will again collect fingerprints within the 5 year period specified above. Furthermore, the applicant may request that they be collected if, at the time when the application is lodged, it cannot be immediately confirmed that the fingerprints were collected within this 5 years period.

Yes. Applicants should prove that they are in possession of adequate and valid travel insurance to cover any expenses which might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or emergency hospital treatment or death, during their stay(s) on the territory of the Schengen Member States. The insurance should be valid throughout the territory of the Member States and cover the entire period of the person’s intended stay or transit. The minimum coverage must be EUR 30000. You can take the same with the help of LeSo as well.
