- Места выкладываются партиями без фиксированного публичного расписания — чаще всего рано утром по местному времени, в понедельник утром и около 1-го числа месяца.
- В популярных консульствах (например, Франция, Италия и Испания в крупных городах) свежая партия может разойтись за минуты — зарегистрируйтесь и войдите в аккаунт заранее.
- Отмены освобождают места в течение дня, поэтому проверяйте ежедневно, даже если показано «нет мест».
- Поэтому подавайте как можно раньше — за полгода до поездки. Ожидание до 1–2 месяцев часто означает полное отсутствие мест.
