Directions · How it works
Four steps, and only one of them costs you anything — the last one.
Where you are applying from, where you are going, the visa category and how many people are travelling. That is the whole brief. It takes a minute through the request form or in chat.
If the route is one we cannot work right now, we say so at this point rather than after taking your money. Some consulates have added steps that require the applicant in person — those we cannot do for you, and we will tell you which nearby centre is realistic instead.
Continuously, day and night, on the centre you chose. This is the part that is hard to do yourself: appointments are released without warning and taken within minutes, usually while you are asleep or at work.
How hard, in our own numbers: on the Latvia centre in Dubai we ran 98,833 availability checks and caught 122 openings. That is roughly one opening per 810 checks. Refreshing the page by hand is not a slow version of this — it is a different activity.
The moment a slot appears we take it and complete the booking for your applicants. You get the confirmation details.
What this step needs from you is your paperwork, not your account: the applicant details exactly as they appear in the passport, and the documents VFS Global asks for on your route — scans included, where it requires them. An application cannot be filed without them.
Nothing belonging to your VFS Global account is involved at any point: not the login, not the password, not a code from your email. Any service that asks for those should worry you.
Payment happens after the appointment is confirmed, not before. If nothing opens on your route, there is nothing to pay — you have lost only the time it took to send us the request.
The price depends on where you are applying from and how many applicants there are; it falls per person as the group grows. See pricing.
We are not VFS Global, an embassy or a consulate, and we are not affiliated with any of them. Booking an appointment through the official channels is free — what you pay us for is the watching and the paperwork.
We do not sell appointments, and we cannot guarantee one. Nobody can: the slots are released by the consulate on its own schedule, and some months there are very few. Any service promising you a guaranteed slot or a guaranteed visa is telling you something it cannot deliver.
