Schengen in 15 days: the real timeline

14 May 2026 · 2 min read

We walked one client through a Schengen short-stay visa from kick-off to passport-in-hand in 15 working days. Here's the timeline.

Day 1: kick-off call. Day 3: documents collected. Day 5: appointment booked. Day 9: biometrics. Day 14: passport collected.

What sped it up

Same-day appointment availability at the consulate, all documents ready before lodging, and a clean travel history.
