These bots do not issue visas: they watch visa-centre and embassy calendars for free appointment slots, message you in Telegram when one opens, and some book the slot for you. The documents, the fees and the visa decision stay with the consulate and its visa centre.

We took each bot from its vendor's own website, where a link to the bot shows it is not a look-alike, and checked on Telegram that it is live. Then we compared what each service publishes: which booking systems it watches (VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS, US embassy calendars), which countries you can apply from, whether the bot only alerts or also books, when you pay and whether it needs your passport details. We could not wait for a real slot on every route, so speed figures are the vendors' own.
Most of these services sell two things. An alert tells you a slot has opened and leaves the booking to you: Visa Catcher's alerts are free, Visard's start at £35 for 31 days and cover everyone travelling together, and Visa Cat's start at $40 a month. Auto-booking fills in the form and takes the slot for you: Visard charges from £100 plus £50 per extra applicant, Visa Cat from $80, and both take the fee only after the appointment is booked. If your dates are flexible and you can react within minutes, alerts are usually enough; on routes where slots vanish in seconds, auto-booking is what actually gets the date.
Coverage depends on where you apply from, not on your passport. Visa Catcher works for applicants in the UK, Ireland, the UAE, the USA, Canada and Turkey. Visard sends alerts from the UK, Ireland, the UAE, the USA, India, Turkey and Morocco, but books only from the UK, selected Irish corridors and for Portugal from the USA. Visa Cat handles only the US B1/B2 visitor visa, at embassies in countries such as Canada, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia and Qatar; its payments go through YuKassa, so check that your card is accepted before choosing a plan. Applicants in India waiting for a US visa have Easy Slot Booking (@EasySlotBookingBot): alerts for Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi come through its Telegram channels and a desktop Chrome extension, free with a 30-minute delay and in real time from ₹3,000 for two months.
Alerts need no passport details; auto-booking does, because the service fills in the booking form for you. Share them only with a service that names its company and publishes a privacy policy, and pay visa-centre fees to the centre directly. No bot can influence the visa decision itself.
Only as a starting point: visa rules change and depend on your citizenship and the purpose and length of the trip, and an AI bot may repeat rules that no longer apply. Before booking, check the official website of the embassy or consulate of your destination.
Reliably, only the official tracking page named in your application confirmation - the consulate's or its visa centre's. A third-party bot at best checks that same page for you, and you hand your passport and application numbers to strangers.
Most likely it is a scam. Where paid priority processing really exists, it is listed on the official website of the consulate or its visa centre and paid there, and no one can guarantee approval - a promise of it for money sent in a chat is a red flag.
