This tracker watches appointment calendars, not your application status. Appointment availability differs city by city across the US. We check VFS Global every 3 seconds and alert you on Telegram, or auto-book eligible Portugal appointments.
What the tracker watches
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.
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.
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.
Auto-booking on the Portugal route: $100 per applicant (+$50 each additional), charged only after the booking. Notifications: $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.
Our system monitors VFS Global and TLScontact 24/7, performing roughly 28,800 checks per day for each USA corridor.
The moment a slot opens for an eligible destination, the appointment is secured in under a second, day or night, without you being at the screen.
Auto-booking is $100 first applicant plus $50 each additional, charged only after your appointment is confirmed.
Notifications start at $40 (single country) or $60 (all 4 destinations). One subscription covers everyone in your group.
From Telegram to confirmed Schengen appointment in four steps. Average time: 4 to 7 days.
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 :)

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.
Not from Visard: notifications start at $40 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.
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. Portugal additionally supports auto-booking; the other 3 are notifications only.
The Portugal VFS Global system in the USA supports automated form submission. Other US-based VFS systems for Schengen destinations have technical restrictions that prevent automation, so we use the next-best alternative, high-frequency notifications.
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).
Average 4 to 7 days for Portugal auto-booking (this can be longer during peak seasons, such as summer holidays or major travel periods). 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.
For a single applicant: $100 Visard fee + $44.29 VFS fee = $144.29 total. Paid only after we successfully book your appointment.
Auto-booking (Portugal) — Our service fee is charged only after we successfully secure your appointment, so there is nothing to refund on our service fee until we deliver. 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; our service 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.
