Official Advisories & Rules
Latest Visa Policy Updates for Indian Citizens
Key diplomatic shifts, digital arrival cards (MDAC/TDAC), e-Visa launches, and multi-entry rules affecting Indian passport holders.
HISTORIC EU RULE
Active Policy
Schengen "Cascade" Regime Grants 2-Year & 5-Year Visas to Indians
The European Commission adopted a favorable "Cascade" visa rule specifically for Indian citizens residing in India. Once you have lawfully obtained and used two Schengen visas within the previous 3 years, you are now eligible for a 2-year multiple-entry Schengen visa, followed by a 5-year multiple-entry visa (if passport validity permits).
Applies to: Republic of India Passport
VISA-FREE WAVE
2026 Policy
Thailand (60 Days), Malaysia, Sri Lanka & Kazakhstan Remain Visa-Free
Indian tourists continue to enjoy zero-fee Visa-Free entry into Thailand (for a generous 60 days per trip with the online TDAC card), Malaysia (30 days with the free MDAC digital card), Sri Lanka, Mauritius (60 days), and Kazakhstan (14 days).

PAPERLESS E-VISAS

Japan e-Visa, Australia Subclass 600 & Russia Unified e-Visa Simplify Travel
Japan now issues single-entry 90-day tourist e-Visas to Indians for just ₹500 (+VFS fee). Meanwhile, Australia and New Zealand operate 100% paperless online portals where Indian citizens never even have to submit their physical passports for stamping.

Bank Balance & Solvency Estimator
Recommended closing savings balance in ₹ INR to prevent financial rejection
Recommended Closing Savings Balance
₹3,60,000 – ₹4,50,000
Maintain this liquid balance across your primary savings bank account over the last 3–6 months. Avoid sudden large lump-sum cash deposits right before printing your statement.
Top 4 Reasons Indian Visa Applications Get Rejected
1.Unexplained Lump-Sum Deposits: Depositing ₹2–3 Lakhs two days before printing your bank statement raises an immediate red flag with Schengen/UK visa officers.
2.Unverified / Cancelled Flight & Hotel Bookings: Automated embassy verification checks PNR and hotel confirmation codes mid-processing.
3.Missing Bank Seal or ITR-V Barcode: For physical VFS submissions, digital PDFs often require an original bank branch wet stamp & signature plus 3 years ITR Acknowledgement (ITR-V).
4.Weak "Ties to India": Always include Employer Leave Approval + NOC (or GST/Udyam certificate + property/family ties) proving you will return to India after your trip.
