Russian tourists have the opportunity to obtain a Schengen visa before the New Year.
The situation with obtaining visas before the New Year holidays has improved compared to the summer season.
Visa centers of Schengen countries have opened more slots for registration, the Association of Tour Operators of Russia reported.
It is emphasized that the French visa center offers slots months in advance, which makes the planning process easier.
It is low season in Greece now, and therefore visa applications are processed in just 2 weeks.
In Hungary, the period for reviewing documents, experts note, ranges from 3 weeks to a month.
You can apply for a visa to Italy even for the next week.
However, experts recommend submitting documents in advance to avoid delays.
Thus, Russian travelers can plan their trips to Europe for the New Year holidays.
