Digital Schengen Visa Goes Live: India Rejoices!
New Delhi, August 6: A significant leap forward for Indian travellers is here. The long-awaited Digital Schengen visa is now a reality, eliminating the cumbersome paperwork and embassy visits. This move by the European Union promises a smoother, faster visa application process.
The shift to a fully digital system marks a monumental change in Schengen visa applications, streamlining a process many Indians have found frustrating.
France spearheaded the initiative, successfully issuing 70,000 digital Schengen barcodes during the recent Paris Olympics, proving the system’s viability.
This development is a boon for Indian tourists and business travellers, significantly easing the process of exploring Europe. The time saved and reduced administrative hassle will undoubtedly boost travel between India and the Schengen Area.
