A tourist visa is a short-term travel document that allows you to visit a foreign country for leisure, sightseeing, or visiting family/friends. Indian passport holders typically require tourist visas for countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Schengen zone (Europe), and most others.

A Schengen visa allows you to travel freely across 27 European countries with a single visa. Countries include France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, and more. It is valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Tourist visa processing typically takes 3–15 business days depending on the destination country. Some e-Visas (like Turkey) can be approved within 24–72 hours. We offer priority processing assistance for urgent travel requirements.

We recommend applying at least 4–6 weeks before travel for tourist visas and 3–6 months before the intake date for student visas. Some embassies have appointment waiting periods, so early application is always advisable.

No, embassy/government visa fees (also called visa application fees or VFS fees) are paid separately to the respective embassy or visa application center. GEV's service fee covers our professional consultation, documentation assistance, application support, and follow-up services.

The standard Schengen visa application fee is approximately €80 (around ₹7,000–₹8,000) for adults. This is payable to the embassy/VFS center and is non-refundable. Additional charges may include VFS service fee and optional priority processing fees.

Our refund policy depends on the service agreement at the time of engagement. Since visa decisions are ultimately made by embassies, service fees related to document preparation and application support are generally non-refundable. However, we will assist with reapplication at minimal or no additional charge. Please discuss this with our team before engaging.

For certain services, especially study abroad packages, we may offer flexible payment arrangements. Please contact our team directly to discuss payment options that suit your situation.
