Particularly this year with higher demand and limited appointment slots available, we urge applicants to apply for their visa as early as possible. You can apply for a Schengen visa up to 6 months before your date of travel. #DoNotFallForFraud: Visa applicants are advised to beware of fraudulent entities who charge fees from customers for scheduling appointments or providing any other services using VFS Global's name or independently. VFS Global does not charge any fee for booking appointments on which is the official website catering to visa applications. However, some governments require pre-payment of the service fee at the time of booking the appointment. This step is only to ensure genuine travellers use appointment booking and the system is kept safe from misuse by fraudulent entities.
