Are you wanting to travel to Europe during the winter holidays?

Then you would most probably need to apply for a Schengen visa. It is important to note that although all of the 26 Schengen states fall under one travel visa, namely the Schengen visa, each Schengen state has their own visa application process therefore their document requirement list may differ slightly.

It is advised to apply for your Schengen visitor visa well in advance because during peak season all of the Consulates/ Embassies do experience high volumes of applications which can either result in small appointment waiting lists or an increase in visa processing times.

Please note

• You may lodge your visitor visa application within 3 months of your planned departure date.
• For any Schengen visa application all of your flights and accommodation must be confirmed therefore it is vital that you get your travel visa before your planned departure date.
