Indians can now get 5-year multiple-entry Schengen visa

With the European Commission making certain changes in the existing rules to provide easier access to visas with multi-year validity, frequent Indian travellers to Europe can now apply for multiple-entry Schengen visa for a period of five years. EU ambassador to India, Herve Delphin, described the new visa regime as another step towards enhancing people-to-people contact between the two sides.
