Can I apply online for a Schengen visa?

You can start your Schengen visa application online, but you’ll still need to visit a visa centre or embassy in person to submit your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and original documents. Most Schengen countries now allow you to: • Fill in your application form online (through platforms like France-Visas, VIDEX Germany, or each country’s portal). • Book your appointment online with centres such as VFS Global or BLS International in Singapore. • Track your application online after submission. However, you cannot complete the entire process 100% online — physical submission is still required for security and verification reasons. ✨ At Outbound Singapore, we guide you through both the online and in-person steps. From filling out your application correctly to booking the right appointment slot, we make the whole process easy and stress-free.
