Schengen Visas

The embassy is currently experiencing higher demand for Schengen visa applications than it can accommodate. If no appointments are available at the moment, it is possible to register on a waiting list based on the purpose of stay. Appointments are released continuously depending on the embassy’s capacity, usually for the next 4 weeks. Applications can be submitted up to 6 months before the planned trip, so we recommend planning your travel accordingly.

The embassy does not cooperate with any travel agency or other intermediary offering priority appointment services.

The embassy has recorded a significant number of applicants who do not follow the registration rules listed on our website. An overview of the most common mistakes can be found here.

A large number of long-term visa applications are unacceptable because applicants do not have their documents properly prepared. Similarly, in the case of long-term residence applications, are given time to add the missing documents to start processing the application. An overview of the most common shortcomings can be found here.
