VFS releases appointments without warning and they are gone in minutes. We monitor the calendar around the clock and book the moment one opens.

The visa decision has a published processing time. Getting to the point where that clock starts does not, and that is where applications stall for months.
Consulates release appointments in batches, on no schedule they publish. A batch appears, and within minutes it is gone - taken by whoever happened to be looking at the calendar at that moment, or by software that was. Nothing tells you a batch is coming, nothing tells you it has been and gone, and the booking page looks exactly the same either way. So people refresh it. They refresh it at three in the morning because someone in a forum said that is when slots drop, and after enough refreshing the site starts answering with an error code instead of a calendar.
That is the whole problem, and it is not a problem of effort. It is a problem of being present at the right minute, over and over, for weeks. A person cannot do that. A machine that watches continuously and books immediately can - and that is all this service is.
What it is not: a way to make appointments exist. We cannot create one, move you up a queue, or influence a consulate. If a route releases nothing for a month, we watch a route that released nothing for a month, and you pay nothing for it.
After the appointment is booked. Not on signup, not on a subscription, not for a month of watching that produced nothing. If no appointment opens on your route, there is no invoice.
This is deliberate, and it is the answer to the complaint that follows this industry around: people pay a monthly fee for alerts, get nothing, and cannot get the money back. Charging on the result removes that argument entirely - our incentive and yours point the same way.
The price depends on the route and on how many people are applying; larger groups pay less per person. Booking through the official channels is free, and we say so plainly - what you are paying for is the watching and the paperwork, not the appointment itself.
Your VFS password. The one-time code from your email. Scans of your passport uploaded to a public form. None of it, at any point.
This is worth stating because the opposite is common, and because the official warnings about visa fraud describe exactly that: a form that asks for credentials, and an account that is then used by someone else. A request form has no business collecting any of it. Whatever a booking genuinely needs, we ask for in conversation, at the point it is needed, and the confirmation code never leaves your hands.
We are an independent service. We are not VFS Global, not an embassy, not a consulate, and not affiliated with any of them.
Yes. The application is filed through the official system, in your name, with your own account and your own documents - nothing is filed on your behalf and nothing is filed under someone else’s identity. What is not allowed, and what the consulates have prosecuted, is capturing appointments and reselling them as a commodity. We do not hold appointments and we do not sell them: we book the one you asked for, when it appears.
Then you pay nothing, and we tell you. Some routes go quiet for weeks - our own figures include one centre where 23,429 checks caught nothing at all. We would rather say that out loud than keep quietly watching and let you assume progress is being made.
Families and groups are normal, and the price per person falls as the group grows. Tell us the number when you send the request - it changes which appointments are usable, because a batch with two free places is no good to a family of four.
Often, yes. The list is where we have data and infrastructure today, not the limit of what is possible. Send the request anyway: which routes get asked for is exactly how we decide what to open next, and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can take on.
An alert tells you an appointment existed. By the time you have read the notification, opened the site and logged in, it usually does not any more - the window is minutes wide. The booking has to happen at the moment of detection, not after it. That is also why we charge on the booking rather than by the month: an alert that arrives too late is not worth money.
We handle the appointment and the booking paperwork around it. The application, the documents and the interview are yours - and the decision is the consulate’s alone. Nobody can promise you a visa, and a service that does is telling you something it cannot know.
If VFS is answering you with a code rather than a booking page, the code tells you whether the limit is on your account or on your connection - and that decides whether switching networks helps or wastes your evening. We have written up the ones that come up most, including what makes each one worse.
