Every applicant can submit his/her Schengen visa application up to 6
months before the intended travel date to the Schengen Area.
The mimimum processing time for a visa application is 2 weeks, so
applicants are advised to leave enough time – between the
appointment date and travel date – for the Mission to process their
visa application; no guarantees can be given on the visa
application’s return date as delays may occur.
For certain nationalities (see list here) the visa application needs
consultation from the other Schengen countries and therefore the
minimum processing time may take 3 weeks.
In order to avoid any delays in the visa application process, it is
paramount that the visa application is complete and its documents
submitted are as per the Mission’s requirements (see Documents
Required for the different visa categories).
Applicants also need to be aware that, especially during busy season
around Easter, Summer holidays (July and August) and Christmas, the
appointments (see Schedule an Appointment) are being fully booked
very quickly as the Mission only processes a fixed amount of visa
applications on a daily basis.
Furthermore applicants need to consider that Mission’s closures and
holidays(see Public Holidays/Closures) may extend the visa
application processing time.
Applicants submitting their visa application in our satellite centres
in Manchester or Edinburgh, need to calculate 2-3 extra working days
to their minimum processing time as their visa application will
first be dispatched to the London office, from where it is forwarded
to the Mission in London the following day.
The Mission may always request for additional information/documents
or invite applicants for an interview during the visa application
process and this may cause delays in the visa process, which
applicants accept responsibility for.
In order to apply for Austria visa applicants needs to provide an online visa application form (VAF).(The application form cannot be hand filled)
Please note that hand-filled applications will not be accepted anymore at the visa application center.( schedule an appointment)
