- 名额分批放出，没有固定的公开时间——通常在当地清晨、周一上午以及每月 1 号前后。
- 热门领事馆（如法国、意大利、西班牙的大城市）一批名额可能在几分钟内被抢光——请提前注册并登录后再查看。
- 全天都可能因取消而释放名额，因此即使显示“无可预约”也请每天查看。
- 因此请尽早申请——最早可在出行前六个月。拖到出行前 1–2 个月往往已无名额。
温馨提示
- You cannot work on a Visitor Visa (except limited remote work for an overseas employer).
- Don't book non-refundable travel until your Visitor Visa is approved.
- A visa is permission to travel, not a guarantee of entry — the border officer decides on arrival.
