Schengen visa
high-season is back, resulting in a shortage of visa appointment availability
and extended processing times.
Appointments are
available at the Hungarian and Greek lodgement centres from the end of June, at
the Dutch lodgement centres from the middle of June, and at the Polish
lodgement centres from the beginning of July.
Processing times
for Portuguese visas are being released a day prior to departure, while
Spanish, Greek, Danish, German and Swiss visas are strictly 15 working days.
Agents are advised to start applying up to three months prior to travel to
avoid disappointment.
