The Consulate is not authorized to request to speed up this process. After the relevant documents are submitted, the waiting period is 15 days according to the law, and this period may be extended depending on the workload or due to missing documents.

In case you choose the wrong type of purpose of stay in the appointment system, we cannot receive your application when you come to the Consulate and you have to book a new appointment.
