Yes, Freelancers from India can get a Schengen visa, but they must meet certain specific requirements set by the European Union-
- A valid and current Indian passport with proof of legal residence.
- Provide proof of income that includes bank statements, tax returns, and a letter from the client. These are necessary to showcase to the European Union that they have financial support when they stay in the Schengen area.
- Proof of previously travelled Schengen visa or passport stamp is required. This will showcase that the candidate has followed immigration rules and is less likely to overstay the visa period.
- From the local police authorities, the candidate must obtain a clear criminal record certificate to ensure they are not a risk to the Schengen areas.
- The documents mentioned above must be submitted without fail to accept the application.
