The European Union (EU) has introduced a new visa regime that simplifies travel to Europe for Indian travellers, strengthening ties between India and the EU. In a move which clearly displays the growing clout of Indian travellers, the new Schengen visa regime allows multi-year visas for up to five years. This initiative aims to promote people-to-people contact and enhance international alliances. The announcement was made on April 22 by EU envoy to India, Ambassador Herve Delphin in a post on X. "Travel to Europe made easy! The EU takes another step towards enhancing people-to-people contact with India. The new #Schengen #visa regime gives Indian frequent travellers access to a multi-year visa (up to 5 years). Europe delivers on the partnership!" the tweet read.
