The Family & Friends Visit Visa is a short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) for visiting relatives or friends who live in Italy, for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
The heart of this application is the host: an invitation letter signed by the host in Italy, a copy of their ID or passport (plus residence permit if they are not an EU citizen), and proof of your relationship — apostilled birth or marriage certificates. The embassy also wants to see that you have the funds and the ties to return to India.
Lifeset Overseas coordinates the host's documents and your own into one consistent file, and flags anything an officer might question before you submit.
