Beginning June 11, 2024, the cost of the Schengen Visa, essential for visa-free travel across 29 European countries, will rise. Adult applicants will see fees increase from €80 to €90, while fees for children aged six to twelve will go up from €40 to €45. Countries not cooperating with the EU on readmission could face even higher fees, up to €180. The decision follows a review citing inflation and increased civil servant salaries. Indian nationals, showing growing interest in European travel, ranked third in visa applications in 2023, with easier access facilitated through a new visa regime.
