Indian Citizen travelling from US to EU. Will be landing in Sweden, then making my way through UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and other countries.

My question is:

I am making my trip across europe, with my first entry point at Sweden. Can I apply for Schengen visa from Swedish embassy?
Apart from UK Visa and Schengen visa, do I need any other visas?

Best Answer

All of the places you mentioned with the exception of the Vatican and the UK are Schengen members. Based upon what you wrote, you would apply once to Sweden and your Schengen, if successful will cover all the member states.

The Vatican is not a Schengen signatory, but is a de facto member without border controls in the first instance. It means any visa allowing you into Italy will work for the Vatican.

The UK is not a Schengen signatory and requires Indian nationals who intend to visit to have an entry clearance (a visa issued by a post outside of the UK) prior to arrival.

In summary, two applications.
