The Government of France designates VFS Global as its exclusive service provider for administrative support for visa applicants in the UAE. For those pursuing long-stay visas, the submission process is handled at the VFS Global centre in Abu Dhabi, serving residents across the country.

AnySlot monitors the France VFS Abu Dhabi calendar for you. While you compile your residence application file, the desktop application separates found dates from empty results or system messages, ensuring you do not miss a potential opening while focusing on your documents.

Once the bot detects a long-stay visa appointment in Abu Dhabi, you receive an alert. You then transition to your own VFS session to verify the timing, confirm the slot, and print the necessary appointment confirmation letter required for your final submission.

Official guidance requires an appointment for each applicant. After the bot finds a date, you must manage the booking through your personal account. AnySlot provides the visibility into the calendar, while the accuracy and completeness of your application remain your responsibility throughout the process.
