What should I do when there are no appointment slots available for Spain Schengen visa?

Are you having trouble getting Spain Schengen visa appointment date? We advise you to try one of the following options:

  • Approach a different jurisdiction

Have you been waiting for too long for your Spain Schengen visa? In this case, wait no longer and try to apply at the nearest jurisdiction. If you are applying from Mumbai, we suggest that you shift your focus to the jurisdiction at New Delhi.

  • You could try changing the main Schengen consulate of your visit

Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are the major Schengen countries. Needless to say, the consulates of the main Schengen countries are usually booked out for a couple of months at a stretch. In these cases, you can try your luck by applying to the consulate of countries like Slovakia or Malta. These countries do not have a large number of applicants thus making it easier to secure an appointment with them.

Remember that you will have to show a tentative travel itinerary to this country in order to get a visa appointment. We can help you with this. Click this link to make the temporary flight and hotel bookings and we will take care of the rest for you.
