Viyu / Visa appointment alerts
Visa appointment alerts.
When an opening signal arrives for the centre you follow, your phone rings with its own loud alarm sound; as a time-sensitive notification it also gets through the Focus modes you allow. Tap the alarm and be ready in 30 seconds. You book on the official site yourself.
We are not a government body. Viyu is an independent private company. We are not affiliated with any government, embassy, consulate or visa application center. Only the relevant authorities decide on applications.
Three steps
Pick your centre
Country, city and visa type. Optionally a “latest” date: later slots don’t ring.
Ring on a signal
With the source label, minutes since and confirmations. Where the calendar is known, “get ready” 10 minutes before.
Quick Entry
One button to the official site and your 6-item “get ready” list.
By the calendar, new appointments may open at 09:00. Check your get-ready list.

Got the alert but too late? Tapping it opens one button to the official site and the “get ready” list you filled in before. Your notes stay on this phone only.

Where alerts come from
No application centre publishes a public list of free slots, and their sites use robot checks. So we never get into the sites from our servers; we combine four sources.
Calendar
Announced or regularly repeating opening times. Example: Spain releases appointments on the 1st and 16th of every month at 09:00 Türkiye time. You get “get ready” 10 minutes before and “open now” at the time.
Limit: Only for centres with a known calendar. Unverified calendars are labelled “unverified”.
Watch Mode
Your phone keeps the appointment page of the official site open in your own session and reloads it no more than once every 3 minutes. When the “no appointments” text changes, the alarm rings and an anonymous signal goes to other followers.
Limit: Premium Plus. On iPhone it runs while the app is open and charging. It never fills forms, taps or books; your login never leaves your phone.
Community
Anonymous one-tap “I saw it” reports from users who see an appointment or an open waitlist.
Limit: Depends on how many people use it. Reported posts are reviewed within 24 hours.
Public channel
Posts in public announcement channels, read every 60 seconds. No account or bot login.
Limit: A secondary hint. It is someone else’s post; the source is named on every alert.
What to expect for your country
Waitlist
Germany, France, the Netherlands: the moment that matters is when the list opens. The alarm says “waitlist seen open”.
Fixed calendar
Spain: the 1st and 16th of every month at 09:00. The alarm says “get ready” at 08:50 and “open now” at 09:00.
Open slots
Other VFS Global countries and Greece: the alarm rings when a free slot is seen and shows the earliest date if there is one.
What’s free, what’s in Premium
| Feature | Free | Premium | Premium Plus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening calendar and 60-day heat map | yes | yes | yes |
| Opening history | last 24 h blurred | full | full |
| Alarm notifications | no | 3 centres | unlimited |
| Watch Mode | no | no | yes |
| Family of 5 | no | yes | yes |
Free users get no alarm notifications, and no delayed ones either. So nobody ever gets a “slow” alarm.
Black-market Shield
Appointments are free. In 2026, operations in August and October targeted people who booked appointments in bulk with bots and sold them for €300–400, and those who took money for a “certain appointment”. If someone tries to sell you an appointment, don’t pay; the app shows the signs of fraud and the official warnings.

FAQ
Are visa appointment alerts paid?
The opening calendar, heat map and history are free. Alarm notifications are in Premium: ₺179.99 a week, ₺449.99 a month, ₺2,499.99 a year (3-day trial).
Will it ring when my phone is on silent?
The alarm is a time-sensitive notification with its own loud sound. In Focus or Do Not Disturb, it gets through if you allow Viyu. If your phone is muted there is no sound; you get the vibration and the notification. The app shows you how during setup.
I got an alert but there was no slot. Why?
Openings often fill within minutes. Every alert shows its source and how many minutes ago it was seen; Quick Entry aims to get you on the official site in 30 seconds.
Is Watch Mode safe?
Watch Mode runs on your phone, in your own session; your login and the page content never reach our servers. It never fills forms, taps or books; you solve any robot check yourself.
