Indians can now stay in 29 European countries for 2 years!

Indians who traveled to Europe on a Schengen visa two times in the past three years can now enter 29 European countries under a new visa category called ‘cascade regime’. This category allows eligible Inidans to travel to Schengen countries for two years as visa-free nationals. Until now, Indians willing to travel to European countries had to apply for Schengen visa and were allowed to stay for a maximum of three months.

New visa category ‘cascade regime’

Under this new category, ‘cascade regime’ Indians will be given an additional two-year stay in 29 countries. You can enter and stay in these countries multiple times. Later, the stay can also be extended for 5 years. This extension depends on passport validity; if the passport is valid for more than 5 years, then the visa can be extended for 5 years; if the passport is set to expire within three years, then the visa seeker won’t be able to get the Schengen visa extended by five years.

 

How to apply for Schengen Visa?

  • Step 1: Find out whether you are eligible for a Schengen Visa and prepare all the necessary documents to apply for one.
  • Step 2: Gather the necessary documents required for a Schengen Visa.
  • Step 3: Make an appointment at your destination country’s embassy. This appointment may need to be made online or in person at the embassy/consulate/visa center.
  • Step 4: Submit all the necessary documents.
  • Step 5: Pay the cost of the visa.
  • Step 6: Wait for your visa application decision.
