I applied for a Norway visa through VFS Global at the Istanbul/Turkey center in June 2026 and have been facing serious issues with their appointment system. When I log into the system, there are never any available appointments, and when I try to check repeatedly, system-based restrictions are imposed, preventing me from continuing to look for a slot. These technical and access problems make it practically impossible to secure an appointment. I contacted VFS Global customer service and the Istanbul application center regarding these issues, but the responses I received were generic, copy‑and‑paste messages that did not address my specific problem and did not lead to any solution. I feel that my situation is not being taken seriously and that applicants are left without any realistic way to complete their procedures. I request that the appointment system be urgently reviewed and fixed, that these access restrictions be removed or regulated in a fair and transparent way, and that, if necessary, manual or alternative appointment options be provided for applicants affected by these issues. I also expect an official and clear explanation about the cause of these system problems and the measures to be taken so that similar situations do not recur.
