This is important. You must ensure that you give yourself enough time to get the Schengen visa processed and therefore your passport back in time for your trip.
We recommend that you aim to have your
Schengen visa application submitted 4-6 weeks before your date of departure. This actually means you will have to begin
preparations earlier to confirm your travel itinerary, book an appointment, and
collect supporting documents. Note that
you cannot submit an application more than 3 months before your date of
departure.
Most Schengen country embassies will take
between 5-15 working days to process your application. However, this may take longer depending on
how complicated your visa application is and/or if you choose to appeal a rejection.
Every Embassy has different visa processing
rules and processing periods. From
experience, the two most critical factors to consider from a scheduling
perspective is the waiting time required for booking an appointment
and secondly the visa processing time
of the Embassy. We will discuss this in
the next section.
