If you're having trouble scheduling an appointment for your Schengen visa through VFS Global, try these suggestions.
• Make sure there are openings for the time and place you want to schedule an appointment. High-demand times can sell out rapidly.
• Make sure to plan ahead and book your appointment in plenty of time. In this way, the possibility of all available appointment times being taken is reduced.
• It is recommended that you schedule your appointment outside of normal business hours. The possibility of locating vacant slots is thereby raised.
• To keep up with the latest news from VFS Global, visit their website and their social media pages regularly. If online scheduling is too difficult, they may advertise walk-in appointment times.
• Contact VFS Global's help desk: The officials at VFS are the only one who can have a through examination regarding your application hassles. Therefore, try every way to reach them including leaving a remark on Xolvie to catch their attention.
