According to Schengen Statistics, the number of individuals applying for a Schengen Visa in India during 2022 has reached a total of 76,352. This influx of applicants has resulted in India’s Schengen visa application fees exceeding €6.1 (approx. 9.95 AUD) million.

As reported by SchengenVisaInfo.com, the applicants have paid a fee of €80 (approx. 130.55 AUD) for their visa applications, with the highest amount of fees collected at the Mumbai consulate, totalling €4.4 (approx. 7.18 AUD) million. 

Following closely behind, the New Delhi and Bangalore consulates have accumulated approximately €1.1 (approx. 1.80 AUD) million and €508,000 (approx. 828988.76 AUD), respectively, from visa application fees. The number of applicants at the New Delhi consulate amounts to 13,341, while the Bangalore consulate has received 6,345 applications.

As per the aforementioned data, it has been revealed that the Bangalore consulate in India declined 13 visa applications, resulting in expenses amounting to €1,040 (approx.1697 AUD) for these applicants. Furthermore, the Mumbai consulate incurred expenses of €586,800 (approx. 957580 AUD) for applicants whose visa applications were denied, totalling 7,335 visas.

Likewise, the New Delhi consulate experienced 1,519 rejections, resulting in a loss of €121,520 (approx. 198304.55 AUD) in expenses.
