Independent monitoring for Schengen visa appointments.
Schengen Alert watches official visa portals and sends a WhatsApp message the moment a matching slot opens, so you stop refreshing and still catch the cancellation.

What Schengen Alert is, in one paragraph
Schengen Alert is an independent WhatsApp notification service that monitors official Schengen visa appointment portals 24/7 and sends an instant alert when a matching slot opens for the applicant's chosen source-city → destination route. It serves applicants in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates. Pricing is a one-time 30-day plan (from £25, varying by source market) with a refund policy if no alerts are sent. The service does not book appointments and is not affiliated with any visa centre, embassy, consulate, or government body.
Official portals we monitor
All availability is read from publicly accessible appointment portals operated by the visa application centres themselves. Schengen Alert does not query, scrape, or interact with embassy or government back-ends. Examples of monitored sources:
- VFS Global— operates centres for most Schengen states
- TLScontact— centres for France, Switzerland, and others
- BLS International— Spain centres in many countries
- Direct consulate portals— used where visa centres are not contracted
How we help
Monitor 24/7
Official visa portals are watched continuously for matching availability on your chosen route.
Alert via WhatsApp
When a slot opens, you get a WhatsApp message with the details so you can act straight away.
Stay independent
A neutral third-party service with no affiliation to VFS, TLScontact, embassies, or governments.
What we don't do
No booking on your behalf
You book the slot yourself on the official portal. We point you to it — we do not queue for you.
No affiliation
Not connected to VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS, embassies, consulates, or any government body.
No overrides
We cannot speed up, bypass, or influence any official visa-centre rule or decision.
