ALL SCHENGEN VISA APPLICANTS TO PROVIDE BIOMETRIC DATA

As per the latest update, please note that with effect from 2nd November 2015, Biometric
(fingerprints & digital photo) has become a mandatory requirement for All Schengen
Country Visas. Which means that all travellers applying for a Schengen visa, will
now have to go personally to the respective Embassy/VFS centre for biometric and
application submission.
This biometric data will be valid for 5 years (59 months) and the travellers who
have already given their biometric once, will not need to come personally for biometric/submission
for next 5 years.
