I can’t find an Austria Schengen visa appointment in New Delhi

With so many applications coming in every day, it is common for people to be unable to find appointments. But don’t worry, there are still ways you can get your Austria Schengen visa. Try one of the methods mentioned below.

Try a consulate with a different jurisdiction

If you’re running out of time to apply for your Austria Schengen visa and unable to find an appointment in New Delhi, it is better that you try looking for appointments in other consulates. For eg., you can try booking an appointment at the Austrian consulate in Chennai or Kolkata.

However, there are chances that this might not work. As consulates get booked two to three months in advance, the appointment in the other consulates will be subject to availability.

Change your main destination

When travelling to multiple Schengen countries, the country that you will spend the most number of days will become your main destination. Which means that you will have to apply for your Schengen visa in the consulate of that country.

Most times, for countries like Austria, France, Spain, etc. with a high inflow of tourists every year, the consulates tend to get booked many months in advance. But you can try booking appointments in consulates that aren’t so popular, like Malta, or Slovakia.

In case you have already booked your tickets, you can get tentative travel plans just for the purpose of getting your visa application approved. In fact, Travel visa bookings can help you get these travel plans as well. You can take a look at our pricing for this too. And to get more information on how to apply for an appointment at a different consulate, take a look at our article on what to do when no appointments are available.

Wait until someone cancels their appointment

You can’t always head over to a different consulate or get tentative travel plans for your Schengen visa. In this case, you’re forced to wait for someone to cancel their appointment for you to get your Austria Schengen visa appointment in New Delhi.

This might be slightly risky, but don’t completely ignore this option because there have been many times when travellers were able to get an appointment right after someone else cancelled.

If you need help with this, Travel Visa Bookings has a team dedicated to finding such appointments. You can just fill in the Schengen visa appointment form and our team will help you out.
