Don’t get disheartened if you’re unable to find a Germany Schengen visa appointment in Mumbai. There are ways you can tackle this problem.

If you are unable to find an appointment at the nearest consulate, then try booking an appointment with the second-most closest consulate. For eg., if you can’t find an appointment in Mumbai, try getting one in Bengaluru or Chennai.

Change your main destination

When visiting multiple Schengen countries, the country you will spend most of your time in will count as your main destination. Popular countries like Germany, France, Italy, etc. sometimes get booked out 6 months in advance. To miss out on getting your visa, we suggest that you change your main destination, but only for your visa interview.

You will be free to visit any of the 26 countries as you like once your Schengen visa is approved. However, you will need proof of flight and hotel bookings to get your visa approved. To work around this, you can make a tentative travel plan.
