Change the main Schengen consulate of your visit

Main Schengen states like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are usually completely booked for a couple of months. In these cases, you can try applying to countries like Slovakia or Malta. These countries do not have a large number of applicants thus, making it easier to secure an appointment.
