VFS Global Visa Appointment System Errors
For about one month, I have been trying to get a France tourist visa appointment via VFS Global in Istanbul, but I cannot reach any result. Most days I cannot even properly log into the system, and when I do, I encounter error messages such as “access denied due to unauthorized activity (429002)” instead of seeing available appointment dates. On other attempts, I am kept on the VFS screen in a queue for a long time with messages like “you are currently in a queue” and I still cannot proceed to the appointment stage. Although I have been trying regularly for weeks, I have never been able to find a suitable slot and complete an appointment. I contacted VFS about this situation, but they act as if there is no problem and I do not receive any explanatory or solution-oriented response, which makes the process even more frustrating. In this day and age, it is truly disgraceful that such a basic online appointment system cannot function properly and causes people to waste time and become psychologically exhausted. I request that my situation be urgently examined, that my access problem and the system errors be resolved without any further delay, and that I be provided with an urgent visa appointment for France in Istanbul. I expect VFS Global and the relevant consulate to take this grievance seriously and ensure that the system operates transparently and smoothly for applicants.
