Where to apply for a Schengen visa?

Issuing time

As a general rule, a decision is taken by the visa section within 15 calendar days (a shortened or acceleration of the process is not possible). In individual cases this period may be extended.

Please note that no visa information (progress, addition documents, collection date, expediting, etc.) is given by phone or email to the applicant or 3rd parties, after the visa application has been submitted to VFS Global.
