Visard bot 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. In my opinion, 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 :)

Frequently Asked Questions
What countries and visas do you support?
Visard works in 7 application countries: 🇬🇧 UK, 🇮🇪 Ireland, 🇦🇪 UAE, 🇺🇸 USA, 🇮🇳 India, 🇹🇷 Turkey, 🇲🇦 Morocco. From these markets we cover 77 Schengen visa destination corridors. Auto-booking is available from UK (18 destinations), Ireland (6), and USA (Portugal). Other markets currently support notifications only, you receive instant slot alerts and book manually on the visa centre website. Per-market summary: UK 22 notifications, 18 auto-booking · Ireland 13 / 6 · UAE 13 · USA 4 / 1 (Portugal) · India 6 · Turkey 10 · Morocco 10. For the full destination list per market, see your application country page.
How does Visard’s auto-booking work?
You start the Telegram bot, select Auto-booking, and fill in a short form with your passport details and preferences. Our system then checks the visa centre website every 3 seconds, over 28,000 times per day. The moment a slot matching your criteria opens, our system fills the booking form and confirms the appointment in seconds. You receive the official VFS or TLScontact confirmation in Telegram. Only then do we ask for payment: £100 (UK) / €100 (Ireland) / $100 (USA) for the first applicant, plus £50 / €50 / $50 each additional. Average time from signup to confirmed appointment: 4 to 7 days (this can be longer during peak seasons, such as summer holidays or major travel periods).
How does the notifications service work, and how does the price differ from auto-booking?
Notifications is a 31-day subscription that alerts you in Telegram the moment a matching slot opens at the visa centre. You then book manually. Pricing is flat per subscription, no per-applicant fees: 🇬🇧 UK £35 (1 country) / £65 (all 22) · 🇮🇪 Ireland €40 / €50 · 🇦🇪 UAE AED 200 / AED 350 · 🇺🇸 USA $40 / $60 · 🇮🇳 India ₹2,500 / ₹4,600 · 🇹🇷 Turkey $25 / $50 · 🇲🇦 Morocco $25 / $50. Auto-booking is per applicant and you pay only after we secure the appointment. Notifications is one flat fee for the whole group, paid upfront. For families of 3+ or anyone happy to react to alerts within minutes, notifications is usually the better price. For 1-2 applicants who want hands-free booking, auto-booking gives you maximum convenience with no upfront Visard fee.
Where will I receive notifications?
Inside the Visard Telegram bot, @vissard_bot. The moment a slot opens at the visa centre, our system pushes a notification to your Telegram. Average delivery time after a slot appears: under 1 second. Enable phone push notifications in Telegram so the alert reaches you even when the app is closed.
Can Visard book appointments for my family?
Yes. For notifications, one subscription covers your entire family, everyone in your group receives alerts under the same fee. For auto-booking, pricing is per applicant: £100 (or €100 / $100) for the first applicant, plus £50 (or €50 / $50) for each additional applicant, paid only after appointments are secured. A family of four with auto-booking from the UK costs £250 total Visard fee, compared to roughly £1,000 a traditional agency would charge upfront with no guarantee. For TLScontact-managed visas (France, Germany, Switzerland from UK) there are per-account applicant limits. We follow those rules and split groups if needed.
Is it safe to pay through the Visard bot?
Yes. Payments go through Stripe, the same checkout system used by Booking.com, Deliveroo, and thousands of regulated businesses. For auto-booking, you pay nothing upfront: we only request payment after we have successfully secured your appointment and sent you the VFS or TLScontact confirmation. Visard is a UK-registered company (verifiable on Companies House) and we comply with UK GDPR.
Is Visard a recurring subscription?
No. Both services are one-time purchases. Notifications: a single payment activates monitoring for 31 days. After 31 days the alerts stop automatically, no auto-renewal, no surprise charges. Auto-booking: a one-time fee charged only after we secure your appointment. Not a subscription at all.
What is your refund policy?
It depends on the service. Auto-booking — 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 or TLScontact) 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 the appointment and you need to cancel afterwards, the appointment cancellation follows VFS or TLScontact’s standard process; our service fee is owed because we delivered the booking. Notifications — If our system did not send you a slot alert during your active 31-day subscription and you can show evidence of a missed slot, write to support@visard.io and we issue a refund or extend your subscription. We are flexible.
