Will the embassy schedule a specific time for my visa interview, or is there flexibility in the timing?

Embassy Interview Process Visa Application Scheduling Flexibility Thailand Embassy Procedures Expat Visa Concerns

ORIGINAL POSTER

If you get asked for an interview by the embassy, would they give you a specific time and date, or would there be a little flexibility in you scheduling one. I would like to travel a bit in the country I am in, but concerned with getting too far away from the embassy to get back in time if they set a specific time and date. Thanks. Maybe it is different for each embassy.

TLDR : Answer Summary

When you are asked for an interview by the embassy, it typically involves a specific date and time with no flexibility for rescheduling. This means that you should plan your travel accordingly to ensure you can attend the interview.
