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.
Visard Schengen Visa Slot Tracker: appointment availability from the USA
The Visard Schengen Visa Slot Tracker watches appointment calendars, not your application status. Appointment availability differs city by city across the US.
What the Visard Schengen Visa Slot Tracker watches
Which Schengen destinations have appointment availability from the USA right now?
Availability changes hour by hour: dates are released without a schedule and are usually taken within minutes. Visard tracks 4 Schengen destinations from the USA, checking each calendar every 3 seconds, and tells you the moment your route shows a date.
- SystemsVFS Global
- CentresVFS Global centres across the US

- AlertTelegram, within a second of a date appearing, filtered to your destination and centre
- PlanNotifications $40 one destination · $60 all destinations · 31 days, no auto-renewal
Why refreshing the visa centre page yourself loses the slot
A Schengen slot in the USA 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 from the USA?
Visard has no free tier: notifications cost $40 for one destination or $60 for all destinations, for 31 days, no auto-renewal. Free 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.
What does the tracker cost from the USA?
$40 for one destination or $60 for all, for 31 days, one subscription for everyone travelling with you.
How does a Schengen visa appointment tracker work in the USA?
Visard monitors official Schengen visa appointment portals for eligible US residents every three seconds and sends a Telegram alert when a matching slot opens. Choose your destination and consular jurisdiction, then follow the booking link from Telegram.
Checked every 3 seconds
Our system monitors VFS Global and TLScontact 24/7, performing roughly 28,800 checks per day for each USA corridor.

How the appointment tracker works for USA applicants

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.
Yes, on the Portugal route: Visard books the date inside your chosen dates and charges $100 per applicant only after the booking. Other routes are notifications, where you book the date yourself from the alert link.
4 destinations: Austria, Iceland, Netherlands, and Portugal.
Major US cities depending on destination: Houston, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles. Portugal applications run from 5 cities (Houston, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Washington DC).
Notifications-only destinations typically deliver bookable slot alerts within 1 week. That is the appointment; for the decision itself, see how long a Schengen visa takes.
The visa centre fee (VFS Global) is collected upfront so the booking can complete automatically when a slot opens. If you cancel before we have secured your appointment, the visa centre fee is refunded in full. If we have already booked and you need to cancel afterwards, the appointment cancellation follows VFS Global’s standard process; the Visard fee is owed because we delivered the booking. Notifications, refund or extension available with evidence of a missed slot during your active 31-day window. Write to support@visard.io.
