How to get a Poland Schengen Visa appointment
To get a Schengen visa, you’ll have to book an appointment with the consulate. No walk-ins are allowed. This can be booked from one of the two:
- Directly through the consulate
- Through authorized third-party agents like VFSGlobal
The appointment is subject to availability in both these options. VFSGlobal supports around a 100 applications a day which is usually enough to take care of your needs. The handling fee charged by VFSGlobal is approximately $25, but it may change based on the availability of slots.
Depending on which countries you plan on visiting, you need to make sure you are applying at the right consulate.

Having trouble getting a Poland Schengen visa appointment?
In case you don’t get a Poland Schengen Visa appointment, there are several alternatives you can try.
Try changing your jurisdiction.
It is not guaranteed that you will always get an appointment in your jurisdiction. Changing your jurisdiction is a possible alternative you could try. It does not guarantee success though, as other consulates are also usually booked up well in advance.
Change your main Schengen Visa Consulate.
A major occurrence while booking Schengen Visa is that the consulate of your choice is booked out. You can deal with this issue by changing your primary consulate to a different country. Countries like Luxembourg, Malta, and Iceland don’t handle as many visa requests and so should suit your purpose.

While applying for Schengen Visa in the mentioned countries you would need to show a preliminary travel itinerary. We can help you prepare a temporary itinerary for that country. Once you get your visa, change your plans as you wish.
Once you get a Schengen Visa you may travel to any Schengen country of your choice. Upon your arrival, you would have to show proof of accommodation and your travel itinerary. For the sake of the interview, you could say that you intend to spend a few days in Poland and the rest of your vacation in Iceland.
You could land in Iceland, enjoy the sights for a day or two, and then head over to Poland if you have to change your consulate out of necessity.
Wait till an appointment date opens up after someone cancels.
Though this is not a recommended alternative, there have been occasions where an individual has obtained an appointment after someone has canceled theirs. As long as you are patient and vigilant enough to spot the opening on all available consulate tabs, you could get an appointment.
Or you could entrust our dedicated team at travelvisabookings to do the same for you. All you have to do is fill our Schengen Visa Appointment form.
