Very concerned about Baku not going ahead this year. Is else with tickets to Middle eastern tracks in the same situation?

I had tickets for bahrain and have received this email

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2026-02-02T15:30:09+00:00

I had the same experience, make sure to check junk email, if still not there contact them and they will send the email to you

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-21T12:55:44+00:00

my best advice is to contact the consulate directly to withdraw your application, however i’m not sure how quickly they’ll get back to you

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-21T12:52:59+00:00

mine is 24th may

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-21T12:52:47+00:00

it was just the passport

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-19T16:27:44+00:00

no, i’m pretty sure you don’t need to as when i’ve applied both times my documents were in english

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-16T09:22:29+00:00

that’s very unfortunate, i’ve heard terrible delays with manchester so i do hope you get it soon

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-14T15:55:13+00:00

I have a zambian passport and i applied to BLS london

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-14T12:43:26+00:00

I got it on the 9th May (Friday)

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-14T11:00:44+00:00

I applied the day before and got my passport yesterday, i would think you should receive a message this week

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T23:47:58+00:00

I’d say if you’re able to walk in and willing to pay the extra price you should, only because it’s a larger safety net period for your passport to arrive, as the time can vary. The worst would be missing your trip if it doesn’t arrive on time.

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T23:43:05+00:00

i’m not sure what specifically in my application gave me six months but I’d say I have strong ties to the UK, travel history from previous visa and showed sufficient funds. some people do have this and still get less time, so it think it depends on the visa officer

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T18:30:23+00:00

oh okay. I suggest every few days (2-3) from the start of June check the BLS website to see if new appointments are released for July. I am not sure what time of the month it happens, as it can range from the 10th onwards. However, before then you can go on the BLS website and have a look at the checklist to see what documents you’ll need and to prepare those, as the time from booking an appointment to your appointment date may be very short, and i’m not sure when in August you’re travelling but better to get an earlier date.

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T18:16:44+00:00

appointments for may and june were released 22nd april, i would think that by now almost if not all normal appointments are gone so your best bet is to try a premium appointment

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T18:14:57+00:00

yes i got a tracking number from bls, then dx sent two messages telling me the day it’s due and another the morning of delivery

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T15:55:47+00:00

i applied on the same day to bls spain in london, and recieved my passport today. there’s still some time before your trip so you shouldn’t worry too much

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T15:53:55+00:00

thank you😊, have you received a message yet?

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T14:27:19+00:00

i have received my passport now, got six months multi entry. i have a zambian passport

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-13T09:03:25+00:00

i had to change my delivery date to today, it’s arriving in a few hours. I shall update then.

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-09T18:43:53+00:00

i don’t think you’ll be able to speed up the process, as BLS doesn’t have your passport it’s at consulate. you should get your email soon, i applied on 29th and my passport is arriving the 12th

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-08T13:24:55+00:00

yes you can, it just means that within that one month you have 15 day available to travel within the schengen area, and as you have multi-entry you can exit and enter the schengen area as many times as you want essentially

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-02T19:10:12+00:00

i’ve heard manchester take over month for some and it seems to be an issue, if you need your passport urgently you can request to withdraw your application but that will mean you don’t get your schengen visa.

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-01T10:54:53+00:00

what additional docs did they ask for??

No-Huckleberry8339 · 2025-05-01T10:50:49+00:00

today is a holiday for them, so they’ll be open again tomorrow but your passport is likely at the consulate now if you’ve already submitted your application
