Indians traveling to Europe can now apply for multiple entry Schengen visas for up to five years, as the European Commission introduces new rules. The move aims to enhance people-to-people contact between India and the EU. Under the new regime, frequent travelers with an established history can obtain long-term visas, starting with two-year validity and extending to five years. These changes reflect strengthened relations under the EU-India common agenda on migration and mobility. Schengen visas grant free travel within 29 European countries, facilitating short stays of up to 90 days.
