Struggling to find a Schengen visa appointment in the UK?

[soothsayer]

hey – for those who require a schengen visa appointment from UK to visit EU destinations for tourism or business, I’ve observed it’s an absolute struggle to figure out when the next available appointment in your city is available, or you have to pay visa agents expensive fees. As my wife has been facing the same issue…

So I decided to put together a simple website that shows you all available appointments across cities in an easy-to-view table that refreshes every few minutes, so you can better plan your trip. Similar to how you can find reward flights 🙂

Hope fellow travellers here find it useful, and saves you some time and money!

ps. let me know if there’s a better subforum to post this on, or off-topic. A friend suggested I share it here as it could help EU travellers pick a destination according to visa availability!

That’s brilliant. Though sad to see no appointments available! Hope the situation improves.
VFS and TLS are running a nice racket exploiting the eager travellers. Privately selling slots to agents while restricting public availability.

How did you get the data though, considering they wouldn’t share their API?

Also many countries seem missing, like France etc

(sorry about the lag, unsure why my previous reply never made it through)

– @BBbetter ye it’s nuts, the private selling is straight up profiteering. I thought we need to find a way to make this as easy and as free as possible.

– @can2 unfortunately no APIs, using the same techniques that reward seat trackers use. i’ll look into the missing countries hopefully soon!

thanks for that feedback!

I’d appreciate if you could pass it to any friends of yours struggling to find an appointment too. thanks
