At Indigo, we offeR stUdents AssistAnce to get theiR Schengen VisAs in the UK
One of Indigo’s specialities is helping students who need Schengen visas. We take the stress out of the process!
We make sure that:
• All documents requested by the consulate are correct,
• We fill the visa application forms
• W ook the visa appointment for them at the correct embassy/via centre.
• At a extra cost, we can provide return transport, if the consulate being visited is in Southampton
All of this help is offered for FREE if the student travels with Indigo
process:
The process takes between 2-3 weeks from the beginning (enquirying about Schengen visa) to the end
(getting the visa delivered to the student’s home). If the student does not get a visa granted, they will receive a letter
explaining the reason behind it. With this letter as proof, we will offer a refund (minus administration fee of £20.00) for
the tours purchased.
We can also give a general and limited assistance to people requiring visas to travel by themselves.

How to apply?
The student must apply to the embassy of the Schengen State where he/she will stay the longest or if visiting two or
more Schengen Areas for the same amount of days, he/she should apply to the embassy of the country being visited
first.
For example, if the person is traveling first to Paris and afterwards to Amsterdam - staying at each place for the same
number of days, the student should apply to the French embassy.
If visiting the same places but Amsterdam will be the longest stay, he/she should apply to the Netherlands embassy.
WHO can apply?
Students who have a student visa can apply and travel at London Embassies, 3 months before their UK student visa
expire.
However, students who possess a Student C visit visa can only apply with the Netherlands Embassy, therefore they
would need to visit the Netherlands as their main destination to be able to be considered by the visa section at the
embassy.
All other student visas such as Visa Visitor 11 months+, Tier 4, etc. are accepted by all embassies.
