VFS appointment availability, country by country
The earliest short-stay (tourist) appointment date our team saw at the VFS Global centres in Delhi and Mumbai the last time each country was checked. Manually observed, not a live feed — treat it as a starting point, then check the VFS portal for your own category and city.

How this table is put together
- Method: a member of the team logs into the VFS Global India portal and records the earliest appointment date shown for each country’s short-stay tourist category at the Delhi and Mumbai centres. Screenshots of each check are kept.
- Freshness: the date above is the day of the last full check. A country marked “updated” was re-assessed by the team more recently on our internal board.
- What it is not: not an official VFS Global or embassy feed, not real-time, and not a guarantee that a date is still free. Slots are released and taken within minutes.
- Other cities and categories: Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and the business, family and student categories are not tracked here.

SureshotTravel is an independent travel-documentation company. It is not VFS Global, BLS International, an embassy, a consulate or any government body, and it cannot book, hold or release appointments. Availability is observed manually and changes without notice; always confirm on the official VFS Global portal for your country and category.
