Italy Visa for Christmas & New Year: Application Guide
2026-10-14 · 3 min read
When to apply for Christmas travel
December is the second-busiest visa season after summer. Consulates have reduced hours around Christmas and New Year, so apply no later than late November for a mid-December trip.
Processing time over the holidays
Expect 15-30 days, plus extra delays around public holidays when consulates are closed. Plan buffer time.
Consulate closures
Italian consulates close for Italian and US public holidays. Check your consulate's calendar before booking your appointment.
How to secure a slot
Slots are scarce in December. Register early, check daily, and prepare documents ahead. We can secure your appointment in 1-48 hours.
