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

We advise you to try one of the following options if you are having trouble getting an Italy Schengen visa appointment date:

Apply in a different jurisdiction

Have you been waiting for too long for your Italy Schengen visa? In this case, wait no longer and try to apply at the nearest jurisdiction.

Have you tried changing the main Schengen consulate of your visit?

Main Schengen states like Germany, France, Italy, and Spain 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 an 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.

Wait for someone to cancel their Italy Schengen visa appointment

We strongly suggest that you do not discard this option. It is a risky option as there are no guarantees that you will be able to secure a visa appointment. What you have to do is wait for someone to cancel their Italy Schengen visa appointment. Watch intently for any appointment slots to open up and try and book it as it becomes available. Keep multiple browser tabs open for all the consulates near your city and far and do not forget to refresh the tabs.

There have been multiple scenarios in which our customers have secured an appointment just by waiting patiently for a cancellation. Our dedicated team watches for any Schengen visa appointment cancellations and can help you secure a booking as soon as a slot opens up.
