Visard bot was a lifesaver when it came to scheduling document submission for a French visa, which was nearly impossible otherwise. I managed to book a visa appointment within a week of purchasing the subscription. In my opinion, under current circumstances, it is the most effective solution for obtaining a French Schengen visa.
I called several agencies and was told that slots for Italy are only available in 3 months. The bot is excellent, highly recommend! A support team contacted me the very next day after the payment, asked if everything was okay, and then answered all my questions instantly :)

Availability · Italy from the UK
Are there Italy appointments available from the UK right now?
Dates for Italy are released without a schedule and are usually taken within minutes, so a calendar that shows nothing now can show a date an hour later. The reliable way to catch one is an alert that fires the second it appears.

When does VFS release Italy slots?
VFS Global does not publish a release schedule for Italy. In Visard's monitoring, new dates appear at irregular times and most are booked within minutes, so checking at a fixed time of day misses them.
Which centre handles Italy applications from the UK?
VFS Global takes Italy applications at centres in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, and the Italian Consulate General in London decides them. The Italian Consulate in Edinburgh says applicants in Scotland and Northern Ireland can book at the Edinburgh centre. Since 19 September 2025, short-stay appointments are booked only in the VFS mobile app.
How Visard alerts you for Italy
Start the Visard bot on Telegram, choose Italy and your centre. Visard checks VFS Global every 3 seconds and messages you the moment a date appears; you then book it through VFS Global. For Italy visa appointments from the UK, Visard offers appointment alerts only. Auto-booking is not offered on this route.

FAQ
Why does Visard offer only alerts for Italy appointments from the UK?
Visard currently offers only appointment alerts for Italy from the UK. The Visard bot is not accepting auto-booking orders on this route. Notifications still work, our system alerts you in Telegram the moment a slot opens, typically multiple times per week, and you book the date yourself in the VFS Global app.
How much does Visard cost for Italy visa monitoring from the UK?
Notifications cost £35 for Italy-only tracking, or £65 for all 20 covered UK destinations (including Italy), both 31-day subscriptions covering your entire group. For Italy from the UK, Visard offers appointment alerts only. The VFS Global service fee is £13.00 per application, including VAT.
How does Visard monitor Italy visa appointments?
Visard checks VFS Global London every 3 seconds, roughly 28,800 checks per day. Italy slots open almost every working day across all three centres. When a slot matches your filters, you receive a Telegram notification within a second (typically under 1 second from slot release).
How long does Italy visa processing take from the UK?
The Italian Consulate General in London decides Italy Schengen visa applications from the UK. Processing takes at least 15 days and can take up to 45, and it cannot be sped up. Allow 2 extra working days for applications handed in at Manchester or Edinburgh. You can apply no more than 6 months and no later than 15 calendar days before your trip.
What documents do I need for a Italy visa from the UK?
A valid passport (3+ months validity beyond return), two recent biometric photos, travel insurance with €30,000+ Schengen coverage, detailed itinerary, 3 months of bank statements, accommodation proof, and an employment letter. Non-British residents need an eVisa share code or UKVI account screenshot. Italy-specific: cover letter and proof of ties to home country are weighted heavily.
Is there an alert service for Italy VFS appointment slots in the UK?
Yes. Visard checks the Italy calendar at VFS Global in London every 3 seconds and sends a Telegram alert within a second of a date appearing; you book the date yourself through VFS Global. Notifications cost £35 for Italy alone or £65 for all destinations, for 31 days, no auto-renewal.
I'm a Pakistani passport holder on a UK BRP and VFS Italy shows no appointments. What are my options?
Yes, you apply in the UK. As a Pakistani passport holder on a UK BRP or eVisa you use the same VFS Italy calendar as everyone else, at the centre for your region, which is why the same dates vanish for every applicant. Visard checks that calendar every 3 seconds and alerts you on Telegram; Italy from the UK is notifications-only, so you book the date yourself on VFS. Prepare your documents (BRP or eVisa share code, insurance, itinerary) before the alert, and see our BRP guide for the jurisdiction rules.
Italy VFS in the UK has no appointment dates. When are slots released?
VFS Global does not publish a release schedule for Italy. In Visard's monitoring, new dates appear at irregular times and are usually booked within minutes. Visard checks the Italy calendar every 3 seconds and sends a Telegram alert within a second of a date appearing, so you do not need to guess the time.
