Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Schengen visa appointments.
No. VisaScanner is strictly a view-only availability checker. We pull real-time data to show you open slots. We cannot guarantee slot retention, nor do we book appointments on your behalf. You must navigate to the official consulate or agency website to secure your booking.
Yes, our system actively scans official appointment portals (such as VFS Global and TLScontact) the moment you hit "Scan Now." However, slots fill up in seconds. A slot displayed as available might be taken by another user by the time you attempt to book it.
While requirements vary slightly by country and visa type, the standard mandatory documents include: a fully completed application form, a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date, two recent passport photos, travel medical insurance (€30,000 coverage), proof of accommodation, round-trip flight itinerary, and proof of financial means.
You can apply for a Schengen visa up to 6 months before your intended travel date. Given the high demand and limited appointment availability, we highly recommend booking your appointment as early as possible, ideally at least 3-4 months prior to departure.
The City filter allows you to narrow down the search results immediately. If you select a specific city, we will only show appointments at centers containing that city's name. You can always click "Show other cities appointments" to view the full list.
"Filling Fast" indicates that our scanners detected very low slot availability for that specific center or date. We advise booking these immediately upon viewing them, as they are likely to be claimed within minutes.
Currently, VisaScanner is heavily focused on the 27 Schengen Zone nations. However, we are actively developing modules to include UK VIP appointments and US Consular slots in the near future.
No. Because we are a view-only scanner, we do not require your passport details, name, or explicit travel itineraries. The destination and residence you select are strictly used for the anonymous API call to retrieve availability.
Schengen nations outsource their application collection to third-party providers like VFS Global, TLScontact, and BLS International. When our tool directs you to a link, it will be the official portal for one of these entities.
Yes. If your Schengen visa application is rejected, you have the right to appeal the decision. The refusal letter provided by the embassy will explicitly detail the reason for the rejection and the exact timeline and procedure for filing an appeal.
