Each applicant can apply for a Schengen visa up to 3 months before the intended date of travel to the Schengen Area.
The minimum period for processing a visa application is two weeks, so applicants are advised to leave enough time between the appointment date and the date of travel for the mission to process their visa application. No guarantees can be given on the date of response to the visa application as delays may occur.
For some nationalities, the visa application needs consultation from other Schengen countries, so the minimum processing time takes 3 weeks.
In order to avoid any delays in the visa application process, it is important that the visa application is complete and that its documents submitted are in accordance with the requirements of the mission (see Documents required for different visa categories).
Applicants should also be aware that, especially during the busy season around the holidays (July and August), Christmas and New Year, appointments (see scheduling an appointment) are booked very quickly as the Mission only processes a fixed number of visa applications per day.
Furthermore, applicants must consider that VFS/Mission Closed during holidays and public holidays (see Public Holidays) Visa application processing time may be extended.
Therefore, VFS recommends to all applicants:
The mission may always request additional information/documents or invite applicants for an interview during the visa application process, and this may cause delay in the visa process, for which applicants must accept responsibility.
Please note that the visa category chosen by the applicant must be based on the purpose of travel to Italy and the decision must be made by the applicant. Visa Application Center staff will not be able to assist you in making this decision. Filling out the form incorrectly or carelessly can lead to your visa application being rejected. The applicant may need to provide additional details or the applicant may be asked to attend an interview at the embassy.
