What the Visard Schengen Visa Slot Tracker watches

Which Schengen destinations have appointment availability from the UK right now?

Availability changes hour by hour: dates are released without a schedule and are usually taken within minutes. Visard tracks 20 Schengen destinations from London, Manchester and Edinburgh, checking each calendar every 3 seconds, and tells you the moment your route shows a date.

Why refreshing the VFS or TLScontact page yourself loses the slot

A Schengen slot in the UK is usually taken within a minute of appearing, often faster. Refreshing every few minutes shows you the calendar after it has already been booked. A 3-second check plus a Telegram push within a second is the difference between seeing a date and getting it.

Is there a free Schengen slot alert bot for the UK?

Visard has no free tier: notifications cost £35 for one destination or £65 for all 20 covered destinations, for 31 days, no auto-renewal. Free Telegram channels exist and post every opening to everyone at once, so the slot is usually gone by the time you open the link. A Visard alert is private and filtered to your route.

Which Telegram bot actually works for Schengen alerts in the UK?

Visard runs as a Telegram bot: you start it, choose destination and centre, and receive private alerts within a second of a date appearing. It has been used for 15,000+ appointments and is reviewed on Trustpilot.

When do Schengen visa appointment slots open from the UK?

In a recorded sample of 8,500 UK appointments, 9am was among the quietest hours, while 1pm and 2pm were the busiest and Thursday and Friday ran ahead of the rest of the week. That is an observed pattern, not a fixed release schedule: visa centres publish dates without notice and a slot from the UK is usually taken within minutes. Checking only in the morning therefore misses most of the day, which is why the Visard Schengen Visa Slot Tracker checks every 3 seconds, around the clock.

UK travellers found their appointment through Visard

Visard 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. 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 France 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 :)

UK Schengen Visa: Frequently Asked Questions

Tap any question to expand the answer.

Visard tracks 20 Schengen destinations from London, Manchester and Edinburgh, checking TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS every 3 seconds, and sends a Telegram alert within a second of a slot appearing.

Yes. Visard checks the appointment calendars every 3 seconds and sends a Telegram message within a second of a slot appearing, for the destination and centre you chose.

Visard runs as a Telegram bot: you start it, choose destination and centre, and receive private alerts filtered to your choice. It has been used for 15,000+ appointments and is reviewed on Trustpilot. Public Telegram channels post every opening to everyone at once, so slots are usually gone before you open the link.

Not from Visard: notifications start at £35 for one destination for 31 days. Free public channels exist, but they broadcast to everyone at once and are not filtered to your centre.

Yes. A slot is usually taken within a minute of appearing. Visard checks every 3 seconds and pushes a Telegram alert within a second, so you see the date before the calendar is refreshed by everyone else. Have your documents ready and book straight from the alert link.

It changes hour by hour. Visard tracks 20 destinations from London, Manchester and Edinburgh every 3 seconds and alerts you on Telegram the moment your chosen destination shows a date, so you do not need to check each calendar yourself.

The easiest destination changes week by week with demand and how many slots each consulate releases. The practical way to get one is an alert on the destination you actually need, since most dates are taken within minutes; and remember you must apply to the country where you spend the most nights, so “easiest” only helps if your itinerary allows it.

Notifications work for Switzerland from the UK today, you receive Telegram alerts the moment a slot opens at TLScontact and book manually. Switzerland from the UK is notifications only.

Average from signup to confirmed appointment: 4 to 7 days (this can be longer during peak seasons, such as summer holidays or major travel periods). Some bookings happen within hours during high-availability windows. That is the appointment; for the decision itself, see how long a Schengen visa takes.

For notifications, one subscription covers your entire group, everyone receives alerts for the same flat fee. We attempt same-day or same-time slots so your family can attend together. For TLScontact-managed routes (France, Germany, Switzerland from UK), there are per-account applicant limits: France allows max 3 applicants in one account at any UK city. Germany and Switzerland allow max 3 in London but only 1 in Manchester or Edinburgh. We follow these rules and split groups when needed.

You must call TLScontact, request deletion of the existing application, and create separate compliant applications. There is no other workaround for this case.

UK residents need a valid passport, biometric residence proof (eVisa share code or UKVI account screenshot for non-British citizens), travel insurance, accommodation proof, and proof of financial means. Each destination has specific requirements, see our guide to the documents you need for a Schengen visa.
