Schengen visa appointment

Hi all -

I am struggling to get Schengen Visitor visa appointment even for the next 6 months - be it TLS or VFS - anybody has any suggestions based on their recent experience how to get one?

Don't limit your search to the embassies and processing centers in your town - see if you can get one in Edinburgh/Manchester/etc, if you're able to travel there and allowed to book an appointment outside of your residence.

If you're completely stuck and country you wish to visit is not using third party providers (eg Poland) - reach out to the country's embassy and explain your situation. They may be able to provide you with an appointment at time and date they see fit.

Hi

Try reaching out directly to an embassy with proof of travel, etc. There's a chance they'll give you an appointment, but not guaranteed.

As per my other post, there aren't any at the moment, but release slots on Sunday morning past 10am, and daily after 8am or 9am. Just keep checking daily on the tlscontact website.

I have been trying for Italy visa for my trip in May. I started looking about a month ago. There are agencies who are charging extortionate amounts to get an appointment. This is scandalous, to say the least

Its crazy that there are no appointments available!!. I've ben trying for an appointment for the past two weeks and i cant find any. The TLS website lists new dates but I don't understand why its all booked. I check atleast 3 to 4 times a day and i dont see anything available. Appalling !!

It´s because before Brexit, only non-EEA nationals living in the UK needed to apply for visas for the EU. Now, Brits have to apply for student-, work, and other long stay visas, also, non-EEA national spouses of Brits, who could travel under freedom of movement before, need to apply for visit visas.

Hello,

I am curious if anyone has found the best time to login to try and make an appointment on TLS?/ know when they release new appointments?

In same boat here. Cannot find any appointments with any EU country embassy in London.

We are not even willing to plan holidays for which ever country we can get Schengan visa appointment for.

Any tips and pointer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
