Tips before you apply

• Apply to the country of your main destination (longest stay), or first entry if stays are equal.
• Book the appointment early – summer and December slots go fast.
• Keep your itinerary consistent across flights, hotels and insurance.
• Your first entry should normally be through the country that issued the visa if it is your main destination.
• Do not pay agents who promise 'guaranteed' approval – decisions are only made by the consulate.
