My visa got rejected recently and I’m planning to reapply, but there are no available appointment dates before my travel date. Does anyone know if it’s possible to request a priority or emergency appointment? 
Hey! I totally get you 
. Most embassies don’t really have emergency slots, but sometimes if you email or call and explain your situation, they might be able to help - especially if you already have your flights booked. Otherwise, I just kept refreshing the appointment system and grabbed a spot the moment it opened. Make sure all your documents are ready so you can submit right away once you get in 
Hi Jason, this is Nanas from Outbound.
You may be able to request a priority or emergency Schengen visa appointment, depending on the embassy or visa center’s policy.
Key points:
-
Emergency appointments are generally for urgent, serious reasons such as medical emergencies, critical business travel, or death / serious illness in the family. Personal holidays or reapplying after a rejection usually do not qualify.
-
To request one, you typically need a justification letter and supporting documents proving the urgency.
-
Contact the embassy or authorized visa center directly to confirm eligibility and procedure.
-
No guarantee an emergency slot will be granted, so also monitor regular appointment slots frequently.
With the proper documentation, you’ll be able to proceed with your application smoothly once the embassy accepts your request
Hey, @jason_leaf42 for Schengen it’s unfortunately not possible to get a priority/expedited appointment through normal channels.
Only the embassy/consulate itself can step in and help, and that too usually only in a genuine family emergency (serious illness/death of close relative etc.), with strong proof.
For regular tourism or normal travel plans, they don’t advance appointments.
