Long-Stay (Type-D) Visa from India 2026, Done For You — Beyond 90 Days
Last reviewed: 14 May 2026 · Verified against current VFS Global India fees
Need longer than 90 days? A national long-stay (Type-D) visa is country-specific and refused over the wrong category or thin funds. How our Done-For-You service (₹15,000 all-in, pay in parts) picks the right route, builds the funds-and-purpose file and handles country-specific documents — plus the 7 things that get long-stay visas refused.
A short-stay Schengen or visitor visa caps you at 90 days. When you need longer — to stay with family, accompany a spouse, retire abroad, or settle in for an extended purpose — you need a national long-stay (Type-D) visa, and these are country-specific, document-heavy, and refused over the wrong category or thin funds. Our Done-For-You Long-Stay Visa picks the right route, builds the funds-and-purpose file, and handles it end-to-end.
Long-stay is not a longer tourist visa — it's a different track. A ₹15,000 file gets you on the right one.
What "Done For You" covers for a long-stay visa
You share the plan
The country, how long, the purpose, and who you'll stay with or how you'll fund it.
We pick the route
The exact national long-stay category for your case — and its document list.
We build & file
Purpose, funds, accommodation and insurance presented the way that country wants.
You settle in
Tracked to the decision. You begin your extended stay.
What your ₹15,000 actually buys
Embassy / consulate fees, insurance and accommodation costs are paid by you directly — no markup, no GST from us. The ₹15,000 is purely our work and includes 18% GST. Note: we don't handle work permits, which need a separate MEA licence.

✓ Filed properly with us
- The exact long-stay category matched to your purpose
- Funds documented for the full duration
- Accommodation and insurance that meet the rule
- The country's complete document set, assembled
- Every refusal trigger audited before submission
The 7 things that get long-stay visas refused
Wrong visa category. The biggest mistake — a short-stay or the wrong national type for your actual purpose. We pick the right one first.
Insufficient long-term funds. A balance that covers a holiday won't cover months abroad. We show means for the full stay.
No accommodation proof. Long-stay files need a credible place to live — a lease, host, or booking for the period.
Missing health insurance. Most Type-D visas require cover for the whole stay, to a minimum amount. The wrong policy refuses the file.
Unclear purpose. The reason for an extended stay must be specific and consistent across every document.
Country-specific gaps. Each state has its own Type-D checklist; one missing item stalls or refuses the application.
A past refusal not addressed. Reapplying without fixing the category or funds issue repeats it.

Frequently asked
What is a Type-D visa?
A national long-stay visa issued by a single country for stays beyond 90 days — for purposes like joining family, accompanying a spouse, retirement or an extended approved stay. It's separate from the short-stay Schengen/visitor visa.
Do you handle work visas?
No — work permits / work visas need a separate MEA Recruiting-Agent licence we don't hold. We handle long-stay visas for family, accompaniment and other non-work purposes.
Can I pay in parts?
Yes — this tier is payable in instalments via Razorpay.
Which countries?
Most Schengen states and others run national long-stay visas. We confirm the right route for your destination — live prices on our pricing page.
