The Embassy of Portugal in Abu Dhabi has entrusted visa application services to VFS Global in the United Arab Emirates. UAE residents can submit their Schengen or National visa applications at the VFS centres located in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai. This creates a centralized process for managing your submission.

AnySlot watches the official VFS Global calendar for Portugal from your desktop. While you compile your required documents, including flight bookings, hotel reservations, and employer letters, the app runs background checks. It separates available dates from empty results, keeping a clear journal of the status of the booking system.

When the bot detects a confirmed Portugal appointment at a VFS centre in the UAE, you receive an alert directly in the application or via Telegram. You can then continue instantly in your own official VFS session to select your preferred time and confirm the appointment for your trip.

Applicants are required to fill out the visa form online, print it, and bring it along with all supporting documentation to their VFS appointment. An appointment is mandatory for each individual applicant. AnySlot simplifies the discovery of these appointment slots, but ensuring your file is complete remains your responsibility.
