Schegen visa appointment booking

[aphrodite78]

I would say that you'll have to book your appointment in advance but it might be different from embassy to embassy.

Good luck

i agree with Ji&Ma, i also needed schnegen visa for our trip to disneyland france, i thought of doing the same last year but my instinct told me that i should ring to book an appointment. i was scheduled 1 1/2 mos after calling (it was peak season in view of school holidays). while i was on the queue (we have to queue for interview/submission of docs) and some filipinos went there without any booking. the guard at the embassy told them that they couldn't submit their docs without prior booking. have you looked at their website? the annoying thing is you couldn't ring to ask questions, it will be just a stupid answering machine and it's a premium rate number as well. i hope i was able to help. happy trip.

that was last year baka you'll have more luck this time. try calling them minsan kasi they have cancellations. and if you managed to book an earlier appointment make sure ihanda mo yung whole day mo sa french embassy, i was there for 6 hours and unfortunately since pinoy passport holder ako i was not able to get my visa that day , i have to go back again after 4 weeks for the issuance of my visa.

just want to ask your experience how you book your appointment to submit your schengen visa application?

It's funny, but Myrna & I have been debating for months now about going to Paris for a few days on a belated honeymoon, Esther. And we most probably would've done so earlier ... had it not been for all the palaver involved in a British husband taking his Filipina wife to France. OUR nearest French Consulate is in Edinburgh ... only an hour's train ride from where we live ... and so *distance is no problem for us. Not being aware of where YOU'RE located, however, I wouldn't know how *this factor affects you. If you stay in England or Wales, then it's probable you'll have to travel to London.

I tried to book online but no avail.i phoned the booking appointment service but no luck.

That's strange! Because I phoned Edinburgh and managed to get through OK. But, nice as the lady to whom I spoke sounded, I just couldn't quite follow what she was saying [in a broken-English accent] because of my ongoing hearing problems.

can i just go to the french embassy and queue without appointment?

Ideally that's what WE'D like to do too!! But having read [and quoted below] the posts submitted by Jiri & Maricel and Aphrodite (the latter being based on HER own experience) I don't think this can be done.

I would say that you'll have to book your appointment in advance but it might be different from embassy to embassy.
