India, April 27 -- An Indian entrepreneur has shared a photograph of his nearly 400-page-long application for a Schengen visa, sparking a debate on the power of the Indian passport. Kapil Dhama, founder and CEO of Options 360, took to the social media platform X to share the controversial photograph.

"Almost 400 page application for Schengen visa. Real power of passport," he wrote.

His picture shows a thick stack of A4 size papers that Dhama claims are documents required for a Schengen visa application. His post has gone viral with more than 3 lakh views on X.

A Schengen visa is an entry permit for non-EU nationals to make a temporary stay in a country within the Schengen zone, which encompasses 30 European countries.
