 How to get Austria Schengen visa appointment in London – The basics

When you plan for an Austrian Schengen visa, you need to get an appointment before submitting your Schengen visa application since no walk-ins are allowed. You can make an appointment in two places :

• Directly with the consulate

• Via authorized third party visa processing companies such as VFSGlobal, BLSS (if available)

You have to schedule your appointment online and for that, you’ll need to visit the VFS Global website for the same. Austria has outsourced its visa booking appointments to VFS Global, like many of the other Schengen nations.

Go down to find ‘Schedule an Appointment‘ and click on it.

You’ll get redirected to the ‘Schedule an Appointment‘ page. Scroll down a little to find the appointment link. Click on it.

Now, you’ll have to register as a new user. Click on ‘New User‘.

Fill in the details to gain access to the online appointment booking portal. Select an available date and time slot depending on your convenience.

In both the places, the appointment is subject to availability and are usually scarce, although VFSGlobal has the bandwidth to support at least a 30 applicants any given day.VFS will charge their “service fee” which would be around $25 or above in some cases.

 What to do when there is no appointment date available for Schengen visa?

There are several things you can do when you cannot get a Schengen appointment.

Try other jurisdiction

If you are unable to get an appointment within your current jurisdiction, you can try with some other city. No appointments in Houston? try France consulate in San Antonio. This, however, works with varying success. Since most of the consulates are booked out well in advance.

Change your main Schengen visa consulate

Most of the times, the main Schengen countries like France, Italy, Germany may be booked out for a couple of months. So you can try your luck with any other consulate, like Slovakia or Malta. These consulates do not have the large influx of visa applicants as the other major countries.

You can show a tentative travel plan with that country, you can use temporary flight and hotel bookings. In fact, we can provide them for you. Please click the below link to get flight itinerary and hotel bookings for your Schengen visa application.

Once your visa is approved, you are free to travel within the Schengen country as you please. For example, You can land in Malta, stay for a day and take the next available flight to where ever you want in Europe.

Or land in Germany, and mention(lie) that you will be spending only a few days in Germany and most of your holidays in Malta and enter Germany. You will need to show your flight itinerary or hotel bookings which you can procure from us.

Wait for someone to cancel their Austria Schengen visa appointment

This idea is slightly risky, you may end up waiting indefinitely. But when all the options are closed, you can wait for someone to cancel their Schengen visa appointment somewhere within the country and hope you can get the appointment. Keep multiple tabs open for all the consulates in your city and watch like a hawk. Do not forget to refresh.

Don’t discard this option though, there have been many cases where our customers have been able to procure an appointment by being patient. In fact, we have a dedicated team whose only job is to watch for any Schengen visa appointments being available and swooping like a hawk and booking it for our clients.
