Schengen visa from Mumbai , India

Hi all,

Visiting austria, germany and hungary in July from India with family. 4 of us

My dad is the sponsorer for all of us (2 adults and our parents)

He has a business

1) do we need to submit bank statement for all of us or only the sponsorer ?

2) Is a sponsorship letter mandatory ?

3) Is it required to submit bank statements for a salaried individual

4) adequate bank balance for a 17-18 day trip ? ( I know there's no thumb rule but experience speaks..)

Flight and hotel Reservations are done

5) if we miss out on any document, do they reject the visa or give us a chance to produce them in a day or 2?

All and any advice and help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Bank statement are needed only for sponsor. i am visiting 24 days in may-june and unfortunately i forgot to keep sufficient balance is account but luckily got called from Italian embassy and was asked to submit documents again ( I did not apply from India), but rejection totally depends on embassy. Make sure you write a good cover letter. Bank balance of 1 Lakh per person should be enough for 17-18 days.

My advice is to contact the Austrian Embassy or Consulate in India.
