Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Original passport with at least three blank pages | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Issued within ten years, with validity not exceeding ten years and at least three months beyond intended stay. The actual purpose PDF requires three blank pages; parent text says two, so this scope retains three. Handwritten changes to biodata or validity are not accepted. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Old passports and photocopies of every current passport page | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Bring old passports and photocopy all pages of the current passport under the India parent instructions. If a passport is lost and that loss is not marked in the new passport, provide the police report/FIR. Show originals and provide the specifically requested biodata/Indian last page and available previous-Schengen entry/exit stamp copies. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Completed and signed Schengen application and checklist | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Complete the actual current C-visa form and sign it, following current personal submission and declaration requirements. Print the purpose checklist for submission; do not substitute the national-D form. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: One recent colour white-background photograph, 35 by 45 mm | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Carry one paper photograph, 35 by 45 mm, with a white background, as specified by the purpose PDF. Do not staple it to the application. VFS also captures a facial image at the centre; that capture does not waive the paper photograph. Follow current face visibility and image-quality instructions. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Original Aadhaar card and photocopy | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. The current India purpose checklist asks Indian nationals resident in India to provide Aadhaar and a photocopy. It does not replace the passport as the international travel document. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Applicant covering letter and complete itinerary | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Explain actual purpose, dates, accompanying people if any, transport and accommodation; show how Malta is the main/sole Schengen destination. Include appropriate travel-plan evidence; a paid package tour is not made mandatory. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Return flight reservations and internal Schengen travel details | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide return/round-trip flight reservations, plus intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental where applicable. The current parent advises confirming travel only after visa issuance; do not turn this into a universal paid non-refundable ticket requirement. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Confirmed personally funded hotel booking | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide confirmed hotel lodging for the whole itinerary, including every Schengen state visited. The checklist expressly offers confirmed hotel OR the private-accommodation Declaration of Proof branch. This scope uses the hotel option; no private-host notarial declaration, property title or host-income evidence is automatically imposed. Private-home and sponsored accommodation are outside this guide. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Original three-month personal bank statements, stamped and signed | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Show applicant account movements for the last three months, duly bank-stamped and signed, in addition to the tax and all employee evidence. This scope uses the applicant’s own funds; no sponsor evidence waives those requirements. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Two assessment years of Indian tax acknowledgements | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide income-tax return acknowledgements for the last two assessment years. These are cumulative with bank, payslip, contract and leave evidence; the bank stamp is not automatically a certification of the tax documents. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Three-month payslips, employment contract and approved leave | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Provide all of the last three months of payslips, the employment contract and employer statement approving holiday/leave. A conference cover letter or medical appointment does not replace them. |
| India to Malta: ordinary conference attendee with personally funded hotel lodging: Whole-trip approved-insurer Schengen insurance, minimum EUR 30,000 | required | visa application | Example from this named route only. Policy must cover all Schengen states for at least EUR 30,000 or equivalent and the full trip including arrival and departure, with dates clearly shown. Follow the actual current approved Indian insurer list; the checklist’s reference to sixteen insurers is not a freshly verified list count. Emergency travel cover is separate from planned-treatment funding. |
