Yes — if you are a national of a country that currently requires a Schengen visa to visit Europe, you will still need to apply for one. The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) and ETIAS are not visas.

• EES (launching 12 October 2025) is an automated border system that records entry and exit of travellers to improve border security.

• ETIAS is a travel authorisation for visa-exempt nationals — similar to the U.S. ESTA (starting mid-2026) is a €7 online authorisation valid for 3 years. However, neither replaces a Schengen visa.

If you normally need a Schengen visa, you must continue to apply for it through the usual process. Our team at Multi Travel Visas can assist you with the application and documentation to ensure a smooth experience.

Getting a Schengen visa appointment in London has become increasingly difficult because public visa centres are often fully booked weeks in advance. High travel demand, limited appointment slots, and post-pandemic backlogs mean that finding a convenient date can be stressful and time-consuming.

At Multi Travel Visas, we understand this challenge — that’s why we offer priority Schengen visa appointments for most European countries. These exclusive appointment slots are available through our agency and can help you secure an earlier date than what’s shown on the public booking system.

We assist with all stages of your application — from document preparation to submission through TLS or VFS centres — making the process faster, easier, and stress-free.

Many applicants confuse the term Priority Schengen Visa with fast processing — they’re different.

A Priority Schengen Visa usually means that you’ll get a sooner appointment than what’s available through the public booking system, and sometimes access to a premium lounge at the visa centre. However, it does not guarantee faster processing of your application.

The processing time is always decided by the consulate issuing the visa. For example, France generally processes visas within 5–15 working days, while other Schengen countries may require a minimum of 15 working days or more.

At Multi Travel Visas, we help our clients secure priority appointments (for example, for French visas every Monday) to save time and make the process as smooth as possible.

The quickest Schengen visa to obtain is usually a French Schengen visa.

At Multi Travel Visas, we have exclusive French visa appointment slots every Monday at our London office, allowing us to help our clients start the process without long waiting times.

For most nationalities, the official processing time is 5–15 working days, but in our experience, passports are often returned within just 5–10 working days once submitted to TLS Contact (the visa centre for France).

If you’re planning a trip soon and need your visa fast, applying for a French Schengen visa is often the most efficient and reliable option.

With our priority access to Schengen visa appointments, we typically secure slots within 1 week for most countries.

Processing times vary:

• France: Appointments available weekly-every Monday; processing takes 5-15 working days.

• Netherlands: Appointments within 1 week; processing takes 15-35 days.

• Portugal: Appointments within 1 week; processing takes 15-25 days.

• Croatia: Appointments within 1 week; processing takes 15 days.

For urgent needs, we do our utmost to get a slot within a few days.

Processing times are approximate and may be longer during peak periods, such as before summer or Christmas holidays. We recommend applying as early as possible. Most embassies allow applications up to six months before your planned travel date. Please note that visas are valid from the date of your travel ticket, not from the date of issue.

A Short-Stay Schengen Visa (Type C) allows you to stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It’s used for tourism, business trips, family or friend visits, events, or short training. Most people applying from the UK fall into this category.

A Long-Stay Schengen Visa (Type D) is for those who intend to live, work, or study in one Schengen country for more than 90 days. It is issued by the individual country’s authorities, not under the general Schengen visa rules.

If you are travelling for a holiday, business meeting, or family visit, you must apply for a short-stay visa, even if you wish to stay longer or hope for a multiple-entry visa.

The length and validity of your visa are always decided by the Consulate

Yes, a Schengen visa allows travel to all 29 Schengen countries during its validity period, provided it is marked “MULT” under “Number of Entries.” The total stay must not exceed the duration specified on the visa, typically up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

You should apply through the country where you will spend the most nights on your initial trip. If staying an equal number of nights in multiple countries, apply through the country you enter first. For example:

• Spending 6 nights in France and 4 nights in Spain? Apply through France.

• Spending 5 nights in Italy and 5 nights in France, entering via Italy? Apply through Italy.

• 
  

If you are making two separate trips you must apply from country you are traveling to first.

We always submit applications for multiple-entry visas to provide maximum travel flexibility. However, the issuing consulate makes the final decision on the visa type. You can also add a short cover letter requesting a longer visa.

The validity of a Schengen visa is determined by the consulate based on factors such as your travel history, passport validity, and UK visa status (if applicable). Typically, a Schengen visa permits stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. We ensure your application is optimised for the best possible outcome.

Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned return date from the Schengen area. For example, if your passport expires on 31 March 2026, your return must be before 31 December 2025.

To apply for a Schengen visa from the UK, you must be a resident in the UK (on a proper UK visa Spouse/Partner/Work/Study/Settlement, total UK visa duration must be 6 months or more. If you are in the UK on a visitor visa, you must apply through the consulate in your country of residence. There are some countries such as Belgium that allow UK visitors to apply, you must make your own application directly to them.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for Schengen visa applications. It must cover all Schengen countries with a minimum of €30,000 in medical coverage for the duration of your stay.

British passport holders do not require a visa for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period in the Schengen area for tourism, business, or family visits, provided the purpose is not work or study. The 90-day period begins upon entering any Schengen country. For longer stays or specific activities (e.g., work or study), a visa is required.
