Question 1

How long does a Schengen visa take for Indian passport holders?

Accepted Answer

Most consulates decide within 15 calendar days of the appointment. This can stretch to 45 days if they ask for more documents, so we suggest applying 6 to 8 weeks before travel. The earliest you can apply is 6 months out.

Question 2

Is the eligibility check really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You see every route scored for your passport and goal without paying or creating an account. Fees only apply if you buy a service or hire a partner consultant, and both prices are shown before checkout.

Question 3

Can I check Canada PR (Express Entry) eligibility here?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The check estimates your CRS band, lists the category draws you may fit, and shows the current processing window. If you want a consultant, we match you to a licensed RCIC on the network.

Question 4

Do you file the visa application for me?

Accepted Answer

Two options. Apply yourself with the route checklist, or add a licensed immigration consultant who prepares and files everything. You pick at the end of the eligibility check.

Question 5

Is Vistolane an immigration consultancy or law firm?

Accepted Answer

Vistolane is not a law firm. Our in-house team of trained visa specialists prepares and files tourist, business and student applications, which do not require a licensed lawyer. Where a route needs regulated immigration advice (work, family, investor, residence and citizenship), a licensed consultant or firm on our network handles it and you see their licence number before you engage them.

Question 6

Which countries are covered?

Accepted Answer

52 destinations, led by the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, United States, the Schengen Area, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Singapore. Each destination page lists the visa types, government fees and processing times we track.
