Schengen appointment slots: how to plan ahead

18 Oct 2026 · 6 min read

Appointment slots fill up fast in peak season. Here is how to prepare your file early so you are ready when a slot opens.

Schengen visa appointment slots are limited, and in peak travel months they can disappear within minutes. The best defence is a complete file before you start looking.

Prepare these first

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months after your return
  • Bank statements and solvency certificate
  • Travel insurance covering the full trip
  • Hotel bookings and a day-by-day itinerary

Our tip

Book a consultation with our Europe desk. We review your file, check the latest embassy checklist and help you secure a slot as soon as one is released.

Your passport is ready. Are you?
