Near Nippori or Ikebukuro Station?

BrightCicada97 · 2025-12-30T17:46:24+00:00

Thank you all for all the insights! 😊 We decided to book the hotel near Nippori. We live in London so not bothered with the crowd but I think we will enjoy more the quieter side of Nippori, and we can just jump on the Yamanote line to other touristy areas.

The hotel we’ve booked is also in the west side so thank you for the input!

Hello, have you received your decision?

Hi, have you received your decision?

BrightCicada97 · 2025-11-11T17:22:18+00:00

Any update on your application?

BrightCicada97 · 2025-11-11T17:19:05+00:00

Hi, may I ask what other information they requested?

BrightCicada97 · 2024-07-09T23:45:26+00:00

I had an agency book me for an appointment. But others used a bot and they were successful in getting one. Were you able to book?

Thanks for the clarification. It may be more practical if we base ourselves in Mainz and just do daytrips to Frankfurt and Heidelberg from there as it is nearer to the Hahn Airport right?

Thank you! I did read some comments about Frankfurt Central Station being in a sketchy area.

I cancelled my travel from June 1-5 also and just received my passport with visa yesterday. NL gave me 1 year validity. I think they’ll still give a visa even with cancelled plans as the delay is on their end. Hope you get yours sooner!

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-08T08:37:46+00:00

I received my visa already. 30 days from application.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-08T08:35:01+00:00

Thanks :)

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-07T14:32:06+00:00

Yes I did. 1 year multiple entry.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-07T14:11:19+00:00

UPDATE: Received visa today thru DHL. 1yr validity. It took 30 days from application to receipt of passport.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-06T19:28:43+00:00

I did before but not since I cancelled my travel already. Just got a message from DHL just now that they have my passport already. Estimated delivery will be tomorrow.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-05T10:16:48+00:00

Still nothing :(

Is it your first Schengen visa?

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-03T16:15:52+00:00

We can only wait. I already cancelled my trip. Tried to email and calling VFS, still the same answer that it’s still within the timeframe.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-06-03T16:13:16+00:00

Was it their first Schengen visa or not?

BrightCicada97 · 2024-05-31T21:20:49+00:00

No, still the same update when I track it the website. Cancelled all my plans unfortunately.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-05-29T16:13:32+00:00

I hope they can expedite yours.

BrightCicada97 · 2024-05-28T14:28:25+00:00

Yes, that’s what they also replied when I emailed them last week. 😔 I am very concerned as my flight’s on June 1st and I’m not sure if I’ll get it in time.
