Expert Schengen Visa Consultant in India
Why SmotVisa shines is because we consult the correct way to get a Schengen visa based on your eligibility, itinerary, arrange the required €30,000 travel insurance, build a clean document and finance file, and book your VFS or BLS appointment.
Which Embassy Do You Apply To?
Schengen rules require you to apply to the embassy of your main destination — where you spend the most days. Getting this wrong is a leading cause of rejection. We map your itinerary carefully and confirm the correct embassy before anything else.
Tourist Visa (Type C)
- Holidays & sightseeing across Europe
- Visiting friends and family
- Short recreational courses
- Up to 90 days in any 180-day period
Business Visitor (Type C)

Who Can Apply for a Schengen Visa
