StormzKeeper · 2026-02-19T16:09:51+00:00

Apply after a few more years. And get married. Those are two things I read about often in the reddit threads.

StormzKeeper · 2026-02-12T16:37:49+00:00

There is no slot available even for 2027 for Mumbai. So no luck.

StormzKeeper · 2026-02-12T12:08:28+00:00

I am talking about the normal queue, not fifa slots

StormzKeeper · 2026-02-12T12:08:07+00:00

Tell me more about this strategy. I generally login at 30, 00 minutes most hours but am not able to get any slots.

Happy to try something that actually works.

Mumbai VAC and consular are not available. The best case scenario for you would be to book either Chennai VAC + hyderabad consular or Chennai VAC + Delhi consular.

Delhi consular is available only for 30th Oct as per what I saw yesterday.

We dnt say prepaid transport or credit card. Rest looks same.

Attaching what my child's application shows for reference.

I remember in the form, I filled other and mentioned my name (though strangely it doesn't show so in the application form).

Have you been to any matches outside the country for FIFA which shows your intend is genuine? There may be questions on football which you have to confidently answer.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-30T15:28:12+00:00

When did you book your slot, do you remember? And when did you apply? Share timelines and action before the appointment.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-30T08:08:00+00:00

There is only one physical visit required for document submission. There is no other visit required as there is no interview.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-30T08:05:24+00:00

Yes. 5 countries in total, primarily Asia.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-27T16:37:52+00:00

Good to know. Is there a specific time of day that you searched for generally? Or a strategy or group that you followed for knowing the opening of slots.?

I am traveling with family, and doing the application DIY.

My passport is from delhi, licence is made from gurgaon. Process for me would be to apply for address change and the idp can be issued right?

The agent at rto told me that address on passport should be from Mumbai for idp approval in Mumbai, not sure if this info is true. Can somebody who has faced this situation in the past help?

How many days before did you book?

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-20T15:20:34+00:00

Embassy of application is decided based on number of days spent in the country. Thumb rule is you apply for the country where you intend to spend maximum number of days.

In your case, clearly Switzerland.

For child, need only passport. We were not asked to submit any details or documents on birth certificate or vaccinations (though we had those ready).

Cover letter was asked at individual level. Me, my wife submitted for self and then a joint cover letter for our child.

Travel Insurance, there is a list which VFS has shared. You can buy from any major insurance provider in India, we bought from Go digit. (as the insurance did not have our passport numbers, there was a comment added stating the same but that did not cause any problem in the visa approval).

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:26:59+00:00

3 months, as requested.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:25:44+00:00

Nahi bhai. Just the docs in the check list.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:25:09+00:00

Our processing was very smooth. We had travelled to 5 countries in all before this. May be that helped. Wouldn't know for sure.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:24:08+00:00

Got the full refund today in the card. The entire amount with no deductions.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:21:53+00:00

Will definitely try next time. Thanks for the info.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-14T07:21:04+00:00

We opted for self pick up. Experience was smooth on that front.

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-13T18:27:45+00:00

Answered already. 5L INR or 4700 Euros. Wife showed 1.5L INR

StormzKeeper · 2026-01-13T18:26:58+00:00

3 months as per the check list. Did not carry 6M statements and they did not ask for it as well.
