FAQ

Schengen appointments in Edinburgh

Appointments for Edinburgh applicants are released on the official visa centre portals (for Portugal and Netherlands that is the VFS Global Edinburgh login) and are often booked within seconds. Schengen Alert watches those portals 24/7 and sends a WhatsApp message the moment a matching slot or cancellation appears, so you can open the portal and secure it yourself.

From Edinburgh we cover 16 Schengen destinations. Portugal and Netherlands are booked on the VFS Global web portal for Edinburgh. Italy uses the VFS app rather than a web portal, so slots there are easy to miss without an alert. The rest (Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Slovenia, and Switzerland) are covered too; we just do not publish a link because the booking route varies. Pick your destination when you start on WhatsApp and we monitor that exact route.

Portugal and Italy are the most requested routes from Edinburgh among people who paid for monitoring in the last 12 months (data to 7 August 2026).

No. We notify you the instant availability appears. You book the slot yourself on the official portal. We are not affiliated with VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS International, any embassy, or any government body.

£25 one-off for 30 days of monitoring on one Edinburgh route. No subscription and no auto-renewal. A refund is available if no alerts are sent during the period, subject to published terms.
