• Valid passport
• Completed Schengen visit visa application form
• Travel itinerary including countries you plan to visit, accommodation & flight details
• Evidence of financial sufficiency
• Evidence of your employment or student status to prove you will not be staying on
• Proof of adequate health insurance

• Step 1: Ensure you’re eligible for a Schengen Visa for tourists. Because there are numerous Schengen visas, you must be certain of the required visa. Find out where you need to submit your application.
• Step 2: Determine the optimal time to apply for a tourist visa.
• Step 3: Gather the necessary documents for a tourist Schengen Visa.
• Step 4: 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 centre.
• Step 5: Pay the cost of the visa.
• Step 6: Wait for your visa application decision.

The waiting time for a Schengen visa will take at least 15 days to be processed; it completely depends on you. Sometimes, in certain areas, the processing time will be 30 days; in extreme cases, it can be more than 60 days.
