# Schengen Visit Visa from India

**Quick answer:** A Schengen visa lets Indian citizens travel across the Schengen Area (29 European countries) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You apply to the country of your main destination (or first entry if equal), with travel insurance, itinerary, accommodation and financial documents. Frequent travellers may receive multiple-entry visas under the EU cascade rules for Indians.
