View visa guidanceFor a single-country trip, apply through that destination. For a multi-country trip, the country connected to the longest stay or main purpose normally handles the application. Equal stays can make the first-entry country relevant.
Bookings should reflect the genuine route. Changing the itinerary only to find a different appointment can create inconsistencies and may weaken the application.
