What you can settle without going to the consulate
- check the validity, entries and duration on a visa you already hold before assuming you need a new one
- book nothing: since October 2023 the five offices take walk-ins and there is no appointment to make
- send someone else to hand in your passport and to pick it up for you
You can send another person with the documents, which for distances like these is usually the point.
