VFS Global Appointment Slots

[Stocky]

I'm trying to book appointment slots for my wife and granddaughter for Bangkok. I just submitted their applications and was redirected to the VFS website but I can't access any dates apart from what's offered as earliest date. We want to go up to Bangkok in February but as many times as I click on dates in February I get nothing except the earliest date which is Jan 27th. Do they not offer slots more than a week in advance? There's no indication on the website.

 

Another point, if I succeed in uploading all the documents myself, is there any requirement I print everything out and take it with us to the appointment?

It's OK, sorted.

Although it says earliest appointment still when you select another date, so long as time slots appear you're at that date, though it doesn't confirm this until you get to the end. They could make things clearer.

No, there is no need to print out all your evidence/supporting documents if you have uploaded it all.

I ended up booking premium at the Hyatt Regency, easier to get to, and could find slots that suited us. All very civilised, VFS are on the 4th floor, they put you in a lounge and serve you coffee and a bite to eat. Ushered into the VFS office wife and granddaughter processed together as they had adjoining 20 minute appointment slots. I took the paperwork for them to scan and upload.

That's a good turnaround. Wife had her appointment at the main VFS office on 13th Feb so we are expecting passport return next week.
