No appointments available at French consulate in London

Post by tintin04 » Wed Dec 02, 2009 12:04 am

I am planning to visit Paris on 27th Dec with my wife, but I find that there are no appointments for Schengen visa shown available for December on the French Consulate site. Only appointments in Jan 2010 are shown available. What does this mean - that all appointments/visa quota has been exhausted and will be available only next year? It looks pretty disappointing. :( Please share your views.

I am an Indian working in UK on a work permit. How much time will the French consulate take to issue a visa if all documents are in order?

try calling their premium number...normally they still have allocation for the next 7 days. the online appt calendar is always full by the start of the month.

book for the 10am or earlier...queues are very long and expect to eait for at least 3-4 hrs.

as for your next question...it is same day issuance see notes taken from website

quote:

On account of your nationality, you may expect your visa:
the day of your application. Allow a few hours for the processing of your application.
Several weeks for a postal application - Please ensure that your county is accepted by the postal department.

Please note that waiting times are given as general guidelines and that actual waiting times may vary
