Global festivals like Holi, Carnival, and Oktoberfest attract millions of international visitors each year. But what many travelers forget is that major celebrations can also impact travel document processing.
Embassy Closures & Delays
During national holidays, embassies and consulates may close or operate on limited schedules. This can delay visa approvals.
Increased Demand
Festival seasons bring spikes in visa applications. Waiting too long to apply can reduce your travel flexibility.
