Schengen visa help: what independent assistance covers
What a private assistance service can genuinely do for you, what it cannot, and how to tell which you are being sold.
What "help" actually means here
Independent Schengen visa help is assistance and guidance. It is not an official service, it does not replace the official process, and it does not give anyone influence over appointments or decisions. Being clear about that boundary is the difference between a legitimate service and a misleading one.

What we help with
- Working out which appointment route applies to your situation
- Explaining where official appointment availability is published
- Explaining how the official booking process works for your destination
- Telling you what information and documents you are likely to need first
- Watching for openings, on routes where slots are genuinely released openly
- Documentation support and preparation guidance, on the full support package
What we do not do
We do not book appointments on your behalf, control or reserve slots, guarantee availability or a date, speed up official processing, submit applications, attend appointments, issue visas, influence decisions, or give legal or regulated immigration advice.
We are not a law firm. If your circumstances are complex — a previous refusal, an overstay, a criminal record — speak to a qualified solicitor or a regulated adviser.
The three levels of help, and what they cost
| Package | What it covers | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment notifications | We watch for openings and alert you. You book it yourself. Billed monthly, cancel any time | £25 per month, one country £60 per month, wider coverage |
| Booking guidance | Guidance through the official booking process and what to have ready. You book the appointment yourself | £89 per applicant |
| Full support | The above plus documentation support and preparation guidance for your appointment | £149 per applicant |
Official application, appointment and service fees are separate, set by the relevant authority or provider, and paid by you directly to them. No part of our fee is an official fee.
When notifications are worth buying, and when they are not
This depends entirely on how your destination country releases appointments.
Worth it where slots are published openly and taken first-come — knowing sooner is a genuine advantage.
Not worth it where appointments are allocated from a waiting list. Since mid-2026 that includes Germany and France from London and Manchester. There is nothing to watch, so there is nothing we could usefully tell you. We would rather turn down the sale than take it. See how soon can you get a Schengen appointment for the detail.
You can do all of this yourself
The official process is open to you directly and costs nothing beyond the official fees. For a straightforward application with flexible dates, that is usually the right choice, and we will tell you so if you ask us. Official Schengen visa information is published by the European Commission at home-affairs.ec.europa.eu.
Before paying anyone, including us, it is worth working through the checklist for judging a visa agent.
