How long does it take to get a Schengen visa?

In most cases, Schengen visa applications are processed within 15 calendar days after your appointment at the embassy or visa centre. However, during peak travel seasons or if extra checks are required, the process can take up to 30–45 days. That’s why we always recommend applying at least 6–8 weeks before your trip. This gives you enough buffer time for scheduling appointments, preparing documents, and handling any unexpected delays. ✨ At Outbound Singapore, we help you: • Secure the earliest available appointment. • Prepare a complete and accurate application to avoid rejection or delays. • Track your application and keep you updated at every step. With us, you’ll know exactly what to expect and can plan your travels with confidence.
