Frequently asked questions
Which Schengen country's visa should I apply for?
Apply to the country where you spend the most nights; if equal, the country you enter first. The visa then covers all 29 Schengen states on one trip.
When should I book a Europe trip?
Book flights and start the visa 2.5–3 months out. April–June and September–October give the best weather-to-crowd ratio; July–August is peak-priced; winter works for Christmas markets and skiing.
Is Europe doable for vegetarians?
Yes with planning — every major city has Indian restaurants, and supermarkets stock plenty. Switzerland's Indian options are famously abundant thanks to Bollywood tourism.
Schengen refusal — do I lose everything?
With refundable-fare flights and free-cancellation hotels (how Vaanya structures visa-stage bookings), a refusal costs only the visa fee, insurance and service charges — not the whole trip.
