Travelers planning trips to the Schengen Area should prepare for potential delays, as appointment availability for Schengen C visa applications remains limited due to high demand during the peak travel season from May to August.

In addition to appointment scarcity, we’re also observing extended processing times beyond the standard, a trend anticipated to persist. Applicants should factor this into their travel preparations to avoid disruptions.
