Other FindVisaSlots users are checking too. When someone finds a slot matching your embassy and preferred dates, you receive an alert to check.
FindVisaSlots helps you keep checking while you are logged in — and adds community alerts from matching slot checks shared by other users.
It's not that slots don't exist. It's that they appear when you are not checking.
Embassies release new batches of dates, and individual cancellations can happen at any time. So even if you see faraway dates or a 'no slots available' message right now, earlier appointment dates — sometimes even within the next 2 weeks — can still become available later.
Nobody knows what dates will open or when — it could be tomorrow or a few weeks from now. And when earlier slots do appear, hundreds of applicants may be competing for them at the same time. Slots that appeared at 2:57 PM can be gone by 2:59 PM. If you checked at 3:00 PM, you'd never know they existed.
You did everything right. But checking 2-3 times per day still leaves a lot to chance. The more often you check, the more you control that chance — and the luckier you can be at finding earlier slots.
Every single check isn't just "open the website and look." It means:
That's one check. Now imagine doing that many times per day, every day, for weeks.
You still have work, school, family, sleep — not to mention the visa interview to worry about. You should not have to spend your whole day staring at a calendar just to know whether a slot opened.
Most people give up — and end up with cancelled travel plans.
After weeks of checking with no results, many people get frustrated and start looking for agents. While there are real agents out there, there are even more scammers who try to take advantage of desperate applicants.
The scam works like this: they promise an early slot, ask for your login (as a real agent would), but then change your security questions. They create a fake screenshot and demand payment before returning the account. Most people pay, only to log in and find nothing.
If this happens to you — don't panic, don't pay. Contact the embassy directly and tell them you forgot your login. They will help restore it.
Real agents do exist — but they are competing for the same appointment dates as everyone else. They win because they use tools regular applicants usually do not have, and they spend more time checking than most people can.
The FindVisaSlots Chrome browser app lets you compete for those same slots — while keeping your login info safe.
The FindVisaSlots Chrome browser app works while you have the visa portal open, helping monitor the portal and perform calendar checks — so you can keep it running in another window and get alerted when an earlier slot appears.

Receive sound, spoken, desktop, or mobile alerts when a reported date matches your preferences.
Check manually, or separately enable optional Portal Assist features to help with the calendar.
No. Using the FindVisaSlots extension will not block your visa account.
There is no automation involved in community alerts, reminders, or manual-check features.
Users may separately enable optional Portal Assist features that can interact with the scheduling portal.
When checking manually, the portal can already slow you down with waiting rooms, Cloudflare checks, rate limits, page-view limits, or session resets. The more often you check, the more likely you are to see those screens.
Those are normal portal limits — not an account block.
FindVisaSlots helps you check more consistently — whether that is a couple of times per day, once every hour, or whatever interval you feel comfortable with. You stay in control of how often you check.
We loaded the Chrome extension source code into Claude AI and asked it to review what the extension can access, what data it stores, and whether it found suspicious behavior.
"The extension behaves as described. Credentials stay on your device if you use autofill. Data sent externally during normal operation is limited to appointment availability and an anonymous device identifier. No deceptive or malicious behavior was found in the code."
Most people start with 7 days to see what opens for their embassy. If slots are hard to find, you can continue with another pass or switch to monthly monitoring.
