which company allows to change dates and refund the money if the period is decreased after visa
Don't know. I had processed the Visa via agent. Initially I gave 10 days itinerary with dummy flight tickets. After Visa approval I booked my flight tickets and sent those to the agent. Accordingly he changed the Insurance dates.
 
I have also changed bookings even flights after visa. I have booked a refundable, expensive flight for visa and then changed it to cheaper non-refundable flight after visa approval. In my opinion, as long as you have the proofs for your stay and return flight, you should be fine in most circumstances.
How did you change the flights? I guess most bookings are non-refundable and you have to book actual flights for visa.
 
Can you share some ways to do that? Need to apply Schengen to NLD embassy this month.
There are two ways.

1. You can book fully refundable ticket from Qatar Airways website directly. It'll cost you more but you'll get full refund without any problem. This is not dummy ticket. This is original ticket but refundable. Your money will be stuck in this method. Make sure you buy fully refundable ticket only.

2. There are some websites from which you can buy dummy ticket with a small fee. Onwardticket.Com is one such website. There are many others
 
Basically the idea is to ensure
That youapply from the country where you are living.
If I am holding only an Indian ppt (and working n living in India), I am supposed to apply for Visa (USA/UK/Schengen.....) in India to their consulate/embassy.

If you are living n working - say in USA - as an NRI or on work permit - then you can apply for a 3rd country Visa - in USA.

But, if you are in USA on a tourist visa, no work permit in USA, and you hold an Indian ppt, you can't apply from USA.

Hope there is no confusion on this.
 
My visa got rejected by Netherland in May 2024 what are the options do I have now. Please suggest I'm clueless how to proceed
Go to some other countries which respect tourists. In logo ka bhao girne do. There are lots of beautiful countries out there apart from G7.

Ok this makes sense.
 
Hi,

I'm planning for a Europe trip and wanted to start the trip on 14-June. We are visiting Switzerland, Spain and France.
I was thinking of applying for Schengen visa through Switzerland VFS as I hear the acceptance rate is high.

Coming to my queries,
1. I have the earliest slot for 26 May in Bangalore. Will I get visa before 14-June? Or is it too risky?
2. I'm sponsoring my wife, she has my name in her passport; But I don't have her name in mine. So, Is marriage certificate a mandatory document? Or any other documents will suffice?

Please share your experience. Thanks!

You'll get Visa in approx 1 week. Regarding the marriage certificate, IMO it's better to submit the marriage certificate than any other document.

It is risky but possible.

Understood, one more query.
For last 2 months, my take home salary is zero/negative due to excess tax deduction in March. Hence, my salary account will have no credits on March and April.

1. I have a savings account where I have kept ~4lakhs and I also have Mutual funds, Equities (Indian and US) + ITR. Would these documents be sufficient to support by financial health?
2. Should I also mention that I'll be using my credit cards for expenses? Should I attach a statement of a credit card with very high limit?

Thanks in advance!
