Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Original passport and relevant previous Schengen stamp copies | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Passport issued within ten years, with at least two blank pages and valid at least three months beyond intended departure from Schengen. Provide available previous-passport Schengen entry/exit stamp copies. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Online submission confirmation and printed, signed Schengen application | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Complete the online application currently linked at visa.government.is and present its submission confirmation to VFS. Also provide the separate printed and signed harmonised Schengen application; one form stage does not replace the other. The link is currently published, but successful portal submission has not been independently tested. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: One recent white-background photograph, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide one passport-style photograph taken within the last six months, on a white background, measuring 35 by 45 mm. Follow the current facial visibility and photo-quality instructions; paid VFS photo service is optional. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Personal covering letter and full travel plan | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. State actual purpose, duration, any accompanying travellers, transport and accommodation. Iceland must be the main/sole Schengen destination. This scope covers ordinary attendance only, without work or professional duties even unpaid. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Original three-month applicant bank statements, stamped and signed | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Show the applicant’s own detailed account movements for three months. The combined checklist expressly requires all pages stamped and signed by the bank; retain that format in this self-funded scope. Show at least ISK 8,000 per day for the whole hotel-stay trip. The checklist retains applicant statements regardless of sponsorship; its adjacent applicant-or-sponsor wording is not used to waive them. This guide excludes third-party funding and the ISK 4,000 branch. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Two assessment years of Indian tax acknowledgements | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide Indian income-tax return acknowledgements for the last two assessment years in addition to the bank and employee evidence. No automatic notarisation, apostille or bank certification of tax documents is inferred. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Three-month payslips, employment contract and approved leave | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide payslips for the last three months, employment contract and employer holiday approval or leave letter. These employee requirements remain cumulative with the personal funds and tax evidence. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Hotel reservations throughout the actual itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Show personally funded hotel accommodation for the full trip, including every Schengen state visited. This scope excludes private hosts, free accommodation and sponsored stays; their separate forms and funding conditions are not waived. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Named round-trip reservation with PNR and intra-Schengen itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide the traveller’s name and PNR on the return reservation, with internal flight reservations, train itinerary or car-rental evidence where applicable. The event checklist explicitly permits unpaid flight bookings; do not treat a reservation as a universal requirement to buy a non-refundable ticket. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Whole-trip Schengen insurance policy, minimum EUR 30,000 | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide the policy, not just an insurance card, showing the traveller, coverage area and full dates including arrival and departure, covering medical accident/illness and emergency evacuation. The event PDF and national guidance specify EUR 30,000. The combined PDF inconsistently equates USD 30,000 with EUR 30,000; USD 30,000 alone is not assumed to meet the euro minimum. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Confirm supporting-document language and translator qualifications | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The current linked India February 2025 checklists do not establish general accepted languages or translator-certification qualifications. Older tourism English-translation wording is not promoted to a current universal rule. Confirm the actual document requirements with the receiving authority before commissioning services; another country’s rules and an Indian agency/notary are not assumed equivalent. |
| India to Iceland: ordinary conference attendee with self-funded hotel stay: Current India appointment, checklist signature and biometrics | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Apply through Iceland’s designated VFS India channel for the Embassy of Iceland in New Delhi. Follow current personal attendance, biometric and fee instructions. Print the actual purpose checklist and date/sign its applicant acknowledgement after VFS completes its check marks. If VFS marks missing documents, follow the actual written request and stated five-calendar-day deadline; do not send personal documents to an unverified address. |
