About this site
Every site that ranks the "easiest Schengen country" is selling you a visa service. This one is not.
Why it exists
Around 1.15 million Schengen visa applications were lodged in India in 2025 and roughly one in six was refused. The people in that queue mostly rely on agencies, forums and consultants for a sense of their odds, and every one of those sources has something to sell. Meanwhile the European Commission publishes, every year, exactly what happened at every consulate: how many applied, how many were refused, how many multi-entry visas were issued. Almost nobody reads it, because it is a spreadsheet with thousands of rows.
This site reads it, keeps the India rows, computes the rates, and puts them in order. That is the whole product.
What we are not
- Not a visa agency, consultancy or law firm. We do not file applications, review documents or promise outcomes.
- Not affiliated with any government, consulate, outsourcer or airline.
- Not a predictor. A refusal rate is the base rate for a queue, not a verdict on your file.
- Not legal advice. Guides quote the Visa Code and link to it so you can read the article yourself.
Editorial standards
- Every statistic traces to a named source with a date; the methodology page describes each computation.
- Guides cite the legal text (EUR-Lex) or the official EU or national page, never a blog citing a blog.
- Where a fact could not be verified against an official source it is left out, not guessed.
- Rankings use a stated floor (1,000 applications) and no editorial adjustment.
- There are no reviews or star ratings on this site, and there will be none until they are real.
- Corrections are made publicly on the page concerned.
Money
The data pages carry no advertising and no affiliate links. The trip-essentials pages describe products every applicant has to buy (insurance that satisfies Article 15, forex, eSIMs, itineraries) and may in future carry affiliate links, clearly labelled. Nothing on any page is paid placement, and no ranking is influenced by any commercial relationship.
