Visa: Fees, payment and waiting times

Article

Processing times

Schengen visa applications are usually processed within around two weeks of handing in the application. Airport transit visa applications are processed in around three working days. Student and work visa applications take five to ten weeks depending on the category. The processing time of family reunion visa applications is on average six to twelve months.

Processing of visa applications can only begin once you have submitted all documents. If you experience long processing times, you have likely not submitted all relevant documents.
