Indians can apply for a longer multiple-entry Schengen visa
A new Schengen visa rule allows Indian travelers comfort access, the good thing for them if they have visited Schengen countries in the past. Adopting a new visa ‘cascade’ regime on 18th April this year, the European Commission, settles down that every Indian national residing in India can now issue a long-term, multi-entry Schengen visa valid for two years if they have already worked and used two visas within the preceding three years. This is more so the case as before the European Commission had not been granting six-month, two-year and five-year multiple-entry Schengen visas to Indian nationals easily.
