Oh my gosh 66 something days, mine was just 44 days today and waiting till tomorrow if they returned my passport back to tls as they said on their email. They said, before the end of the week which is either yesterday or today being Friday. Since I didn't see anything yesterday I am hoping miracle happen today ooo. My travelling day was yesterday 13th of February. According to the security that I met yesterday, he told me that they hard a technical problem moving from the back house down to the new front house. I dont no how true that was but just hoping to get back my passport period, this is the longest I have seen.

Hello Juddy234
Are you a first timer and what was the account balance you used?

This is not my first time applying. I have previously held four Schengen visas and many other visas from countries such as Turkey, Russia, and others.

In my opinion, POF (Proof of Funds) is not the same as regular deposits or withdrawals in a bank statement.

POF is specifically meant to prove that you have a certain blocked amount of money to show you can financially support yourself, for example, in the case of a student visa.

"Please understand that proof of funds is not the same as a bank statement with regular inflows."

If Italy know they will delay they are not to hold on to passport. Its sad

you did not get feedback from them?
I don’t want to send them an email again But I couldn’t understand why they say 15 calendar day but or application is going to 45 days for frequent traveler

"I mentioned in my visa application that I would only be staying for 7 days, but I was granted a 20-day stay.

Additionally, I applied for a one-month visa and requested multiple entries, but I was issued a single-entry visa instead."

I have sent them almost 10 emails none responded to them. This is just unfair.

Can someone please help me?

I'm trying to book an appointment on their website, but it's unclickable.

if you are first traveler no appointment for the moment is why!!

my travel date is 3rd of match

.

I am a regular or frequent traveller. The balance in .y account was around 12, millions, but that wasn't the reason I was given visa, I have used 3 millions in my account to still get visa, the reason I was given a vusa regularly was based on my travel history, I have never overstay any visa given to me, my first visa application statement never changed, I respect the rules and regulations of the visa given to me, last year I was granted one year schengen visa from the same Italbased in how many times I have travelled to Europe, I used that visa just once which made them to reduce it to six months this time because of how many time I used the previous which was understood.

Please for those who got mails feedback from the consulate General , which was the correct mail you used.

makeba122:

I am sorry, i am just seeing your message now. I have been sleeping since yesterday that i got into my AirBnB apartment in Milan. The subject of the email you are sending to them really matters. This is the format i used as subject: Inquiry About Visa Application Status - [Reference Number: 1736494]. You can also make it a scheduling mail, let it drop exactly at 8am in the morning. You will surely get a response. Goodluck!

Somebody help, please. How can I get appointment as a first timer. I have been on the site for days now and the dates are not interacting.

Makeba glad you made it to your destination, I will be there by Saturday, but going straight to Paris from there to Belgium and Torino. Be very careful with your belongings In Milan, especially tourist places a lot of pocket pickers around everywhere, I hard a really bad experience there that I lost over sis thousand dollars with all my wallet gone. Just thought of informing you and others going to Milan to be watchful of their bags.

Good afternoon all, please I have been trying to book an appointment for Italian visiting visa on TLS site and I haven't seen an clickable date. I'm a first traveler. Please what can I do? Which alternative Schengen country is fast? Thank you.

Good morning, when you people say here that issued you visa you make sound like you are first timer and you got the visa easily like that, from all indications schengen visa these are easier for people who has either gotten it before and traveled and come back or traveled to other countries for first timer is a bit difficult I am not saying is not possible. Nobody that intends to reapply next again will ever overstay his or her stay the person has other plans like not coming back. For a first timer what is the ideal account balance after all the inflow and outflow that was what i meant by my question
