Dear All,
As per talks with Abhishek Makkar yesterday:
Amsterdam (Sengin) Tourist Visa is compulsory. He says, the airlines and site may say anything, what will you do when the Immigration officers harass you there? His visa was checked at Schipol (Amsterdam) Airport.
You can send a proxy for your visit to the Visa Office. If 2-3 of you send it together, there are less chances of you getting an interview call. Interview you will have to give personally (3-4 hour affair, including travelling).
My Visa was processed in Rs. 4700 including VFS Fees.
Any more info needed, call me!
