You must apply for your India Schengen Visa no more than six months, and no fewer than 15 days, before your trip. It is advised you apply at least three weeks before you leave, however, to allow for any delays. Then you need to fill out your application, obtain all the documents you need for your India Schengen Visa, and attend an interview at a consulate, embassy, or visa application center.
