If you plan to visit more than one Schengen country, you must apply at the consulate of the main destination, the country where you will spend the most time during your trip. If your duration is the same in each country, apply to the consulate of the country that is your first point of entry. This rule ensures that your visa is processed by the appropriate authority. Submitting your application to the wrong consulate may delay processing or lead to rejection, so carefully plan your itinerary before scheduling your visa appointment.
