Frequently asked questions

How long does the authority take to decide?
Schengen C applications are typically decided within about 15 calendar days, extendable when the file needs deeper examination. File early — up to six months before travel — and never book non-refundable services on an assumption.
What official fees apply?
Visa fees are set by the authorities and paid to them or the external centre (VFS/TLS) directly — they are never included in our service prices, and no provider can waive them.
I visit several Schengen countries — where do I apply?
Where you spend the most nights; with equal stays, where you first enter. If Switzerland is your main destination, the Swiss representation is competent. Itineraries that contradict this rule are refused mechanically — we verify yours before you book.
