What to do when there are no appointment slots available for Sweden Schengen visa appointments in New Delhi?

If you are still having trouble getting a Sweden Schengen visa appointment, you can try out one of the following methods to try and secure a slot.

Try applying to a different jurisdiction

If you are unable to secure a Sweden Schengen visa appointment in New Delhi, you can try applying to the nearby Sweden Consulates and VFSGlobal centres for any available slots. In case you are unable to find an appointment slot with the Swedish Embassy in New Delhi, you can reach out to the consulates located in Chennai, Kolkata, or Mumbai.

The VFSGlobal centres near New Delhi that you can try are in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.

Change the main Schengen consulate of your visit

Sometimes the Consulates for the Schengen states are booked out 2-3 months in advance. In such cases, you can try applying for visa appointments in nearby consulates. Try applying to countries with a lower number of applications and a higher acceptance rate. Countries like Latvia, Slovakia, and Malta have a smaller footfall as compared to the major Schengen States which makes it relatively easier to get a Schengen visa appointment.

You will need to present proof of travel and hotel bookings in your country of arrival at the time of the visa interview. We can help you get your temporary travel itinerary and hotel bookings here.

To get more information on applying to different jurisdictions, check our article on how to book an appointment when no appointment slots are available.

Wait for someone to cancel their Sweden Schengen visa appointment

This is another option which may work, but should only be used as a last resort as it will not guarantee a Schengen visa appointment. You can wait for someone to cancel their Sweden Schengen visa appointment and then book that particular slot as soon as it becomes available. For this option to work, you will have to keep multiple browser tabs open, each window showing information for every consulate in your area. Remember to keep refreshing the tabs to update the information.

Our customers have successfully been able to secure appointments in the past by waiting for someone to cancel their appointment. We strongly urge you to keep this option open.

At travelvisabookings, our hardworking team continuously watches out for any Schengen visa appointment cancellations and can notify you immediately in case a slot becomes available. Please fill out our Schengen visa appointment form if you would like to avail this service.
