France is one of the most popular Schengen destinations; it is mandatory that France be your main destination (longest stay) or first point of entry.
As of 2026, the standard Schengen visa fee is €90 (approx. ₹8,200) plus a mandatory VFS service fee of ₹2,234.
The "Visa at Your Doorstep" service is now widely available in major Indian metros for those who wish to avoid visiting the VFS center.
Indian alumni who have completed a Master’s degree or higher in France may be eligible for a 5-year Multiple Entry Schengen visa.
Biometrics are mandatory; if you have provided fingerprints in the last 59 months, you may be exempt from appearing in person.
Wait times for appointments can be long during peak seasons (March–June). Takeoff Journeys recommends booking at least 45 days in advance.
Marriage certificates or notarized affidavits are required for couples traveling together if the spouse’s name is not on the passport.
