Hi guys, has anyone had any experience applying for the Italy Schengen visa from Australia?

Looking for some advice, on whether I am meant to apply from

1- Italian consulate: I am on the waitlist for appointment, but feeling nervous as I haven't found an appointment available, am now on the waitlist.

2- Or VFS in my city - if VFS, the website doesn't really work which makes me think I need to apply with the Italian Consulate

My trip is on 15 Aug, so hoping to feel a bit optimistic.

Any advice/shared experiences would be helpful. 🙏🏽

I found Ben Howard by pure luck. In 2015 I had this funny way of looking for new music - I would just search a word and listen to some songs that would pop up. I believe I had searched for the term "Forget" and found I Forget Where We Were that way, found it incredible and started listening to his discography and live shows right away. Listening to Ben really (especially The Burgh Island and IFWWW era) really resonated with where I was in life in an abstract way, it also made me more creative.

10 years later, 2025 I got to see him live, and walked down the aisle to a harp rendition of Promise.

My all time favourite song is Time Is Dancing ✨

I have been testing out which supplements work well together, and yesterday and today I did Berberine supplement with a dandelion-root tea, and I feel like my food noise has completely disappeared. Whilst I can feel my stomach getting ready to want food, I have no desire for it yet.

I love fasting and always on the look out for teas and supplements that help me fast alongside it.

Also perhaps to note that I had an espresso in the morning.

Would love some more suggestions on reducing food noise.

Hi guys, I am at my wit's end trying to understand how to apply for this visa, and I need help.

Destination: Italy & Greece with Italy being my primary location, so applying to this.

I am planning my honeymoon and have all the required documents with all itinerary etc, no issues there. I have a job, a husband, dogs, house and I will definitely come back to Australia lol

I am hearing different information on how to apply from the Italian Consulate in Australia or VFS

I have found the one pager on the VFS website https://visa.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/italy/australia/english/

But it always leads to a 404

When I try to book an appointment it takes me to the Vietnam booking link or the Indian booking link.

Question : Can someone stepp this out for me, where to apply and where to go for an appointment?

Someone please help me out here, my trip is in Aug and I am stressed.

Edit 1 : https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ity/en/Aus/login I have tried to create an account here on the Italy/Aus VFS site but it doesn't work, always get stuck on the same profile creation page
