Dear Applicants.

We kindly ask you to apply for a visa in advance.

According to the Visa Code of the Schengen countries applications can be launched up to 6 (six) months before the intended date of travel. Whereas, applications launched less than 15 calendar days before the intended date of travel cannot be accepted. The standard period of review is within 15 calendar days. In certain cases, this period could be extended to up to 45 days.

Please refrain from inquiring about the readiness of a decision by your application before the specified period expires.

ATTENTION: Visa applications with a primary destination of Germany, France, Sweden, Luxembourg, Portugal, Belgium, Finland, Spain, Italy, Austria, Norway, or the Netherlands can now be accepted again and processed by VisaMetric without providing a Verbal Note from the respective embassy.
