One Visa- 26 Countries!
The Schengen States established a Schengen Travel Visa which provides an opportunity for the holder to visit all the 26 Schengen Member Countries. Germany has been a member country since 1995.
The Germany (Schengen) Visa is a single entry visa that lets the holder into the Schengen area for a maximum stay of up to 90 days, available through the Schengen visa application from India. However, the German Embassy in the home country has the prerogative to decide the length of one's stay.
The latest time to apply for a Schengen Travel Visa is three weeks before your travel. Typically, the processing short-stay visas to Germany takes approximately ten working days to be processed. However, this is just an approximate time, and there are chances of further delay, since business visas are processed at priority.
The German Embassy will charge the applicant a visa fee of €80. However, there are certain exceptions for the stated visa fees.
