The point is not convincing you can support yourself for a week, the point is convincing the consulate you have a stable situation/won't seek to immigrate illegally, an entirely different requirement. | |

| Jul 31, 2014 at 10:08 | comment | added | Prometheus | I have edited my answer to better put what I meant. Anyway, the OP has applied already so let's wait and hope that (s)he gets the visa and updates this post. | |
| Jul 31, 2014 at 9:52 | comment | added | Relaxed | @Prometheus The only thing you wrote about the amount is “With that, I think what you have in your bank should be sufficient to support you easily for a week, that is if you do not do something too extravagant” which is not relevant at all. Given the level of confusion in your comments, I am pretty sure you did not mention the reference amounts because you knew nothing about them… | |
| Jul 31, 2014 at 8:30 | comment | added | Prometheus | Whatever is at stake, having the bare minimum in your bank account is not enough to convince the consular. That's why I did not mention any guidelines in my answer. | |
| Jul 31, 2014 at 0:10 | comment | added | Relaxed | PS: I tried to clarify all that in my answer. | |

| Jul 31, 2014 at 0:03 | comment | added | Relaxed | @Prometheus I explained why in the last paragraph. I think you are confusing two things. What's at stake is not your ability to support yourself (you can do that will less money than the guidelines) but whether the stated purpose of the trip is genuine/whether you could overstay/immigrate illegally. (Incidentally, I have friends and family members who have even more trouble than Indian citizens to get visas, e.g. people who need airport transit visas everywhere in the EU and know a few people working in this area so I do have quite some experience with the reality of visa procedures). | |

They simply state bare minimum requirements. Anyone who has ever applied for any kind of visa with an Indian passport at a consulate in India knows that they operate well above such guidelines. | |
