Consular Closures and Application Processing Delays During Holidays
December 09, 2025 | by Nomadic
During the holiday period, many government offices, including consulates and embassies, will operate to reduced opening hours and with reduced staff, or close entirely. Many will remain closed until the New Year.
Clients planning travel between now and early 2026 are encouraged to submit visa applications as soon as possible in order to avoid delays in processing times.
For an extensive list of closures by country, please consult the Fragomen website.
For further help with specific circumstances, clients should reach out to their Nomadic consultant.
