Travel
Never pay for an appointment
Visa appointments are booked for free on the official provider’s site (Capago, BLS, TLScontact, VFS Global or the embassy). Anyone selling a slot, a “guaranteed” visa or a work contract against cash is breaking the rules, and a file built on false papers can bring a ban of several years.
How we write these guides
- Official sources first: consulates, visa portals and ministries. Press articles only fill the gaps, and are named.
- Each guide shows the date its facts were checked. Visa rules change often, so confirm on the official page before you pay or travel.
- Legal routes only. We do not help with irregular migration, fake documents or paid “guaranteed visa” offers.
- EXDZ is not a visa agent, a lawyer or an immigration consultant, and is not paid by any consulate.
