@ForeignOfficePk Hello, I need to get some documents (my own and my wife's) attested for travel abroad. May I list them so I can confirm what exactly I need to bring along so there is no delay?

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@ChipkaartOV i have some questions related to the personal OV chipcard and the NS Dal Vrij subscription. May I ask here?

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

Since comparisons with the 1992 final are all the rage now, would you suggest Pakistan team win the toss and bat first, besides the obvious reason to post a good score and put scoreboard pressure on England with a good bowling attack? Also, what's a good target?

Makes me want to revisit the Netherlands, and I've been trying to do so for the past four months to no avail because of apparent administrative issues at @VFSGlobal. Even tweeting to @vfsglobalcare, @NLinPakistan, and @HennyFdeVries hasn't helped.

It's about time you offered that walk-in option across more countries, especially Pakistan, since you continually state your online appointment systems are burdened and also due to these harrowing reports about random people posing as VFS agents to scam: https://t.co/MTy5Cpq2Ox

[VFS Global @VFSGlobal]

We're accepting walk-ins at our Philippines ePassport Renewal Centre in Jeddah. Here, feel confident about a safe & smooth ePassport renewal experience with us.

This is ridiculous! I've been hoping against hope that the embassies would take notice but I'm still waiting to hear from Netherlands representatives, @NLinPakistan and @HennyFdeVries. I wonder if you tried to tweet this to Belgian representatives as well.

[Talha Muftee @TalhaMuftee]

@SM_Hassan @vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal @GerryS There is no coordination it seems. In May I was told to send request for refund to [email protected] and then in August they said no actually send it to [email protected].

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@TalhaMuftee @vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal Goodness! A customer care representative over the phone, who sounded rather sleepy and uninterested, just told to instead write an email to a vfs address ending in @vfshelpline as opposed to @gerrys stated on their own website. Doesn't seem like there's any coordination either.

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

Your email team's response to the booking, payment under process ERROR screenshot I shared is the same, old regurgitated excuse that booking slots are limited due to post-Omicron travel demand. Is this team even reading the emails before responding? This is beyond frustrating now

[@vfsglobalcare @vfsglobalcare]

@SM_Hassan Hi Hassan, we regret to know about your experience herewith. We have asked our email team to respond on corresponding ticket and provide you with latest update.

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

Still awaiting a confirmatory message of issue resolution after I shared the screenshot of error with your email team yesterday. How much longer do I need to wait exactly for them to finally resolve this problem?

@SM_Hassan Hi Hassan, we regret to know about your experience herewith. We have asked our email team to respond on corresponding ticket and provide you with latest update.

The Netherlands embassy in Pakistan seriously needs to take notice of the visa agent mafia running rampant with illegal sales of VFS Global appointments while serious travelers are denied appointments, as this article states:

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@vfsglobalcare I was asked in this email to provide screenshots of the error, which I have shared. Now awaiting resolution...

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal When and where may I access the update for my support ticket number 1520386?
I am unable to proceed with an appointment booking for the Netherlands visit visa with an error saying my request and payment are under process when I have not even booked yet.

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@NLinPakistan @HennyFdeVries I believe this merits your attention

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

I wonder why agent mafia, as this article calls it, manages to get so many appointment booking slots when I and many other serious travelers face a lack of booking slots and run into all sorts of errors when booking slots do show as being available...

[ProPakistani @ProPakistaniPK]

It has gone unnoticed for nearly two and a half years!

@vfsglobalcare These security measures prove detrimental when your website makes a few appointment booking slots available once a month and even if one manages to book a slot, the website is so buggy that it does not proceed to payment processing page, saying selected date/time is not available

[Hassan Aftab @SM_Hassan]

@vfsglobalcare This 'visa processing delay/lack of appointment booking slots due to sharp revival in post-COVID travel demand' response is starting to get old, don't you think? Every other business is catering to the rising demand and there is no reason why VFS shouldn't adapt accordingly.

"anonymous people...are posing as VFS Global’s agents on social media platforms like Facebook and illegally selling visa appointments in various online groups for a hefty profit"

@dinozzo7600 @kastriotbushi1 @HHAhmedBinSaeed @emirates @flydubai @opodo I, for one, am never flying with Emirates again nor would I recommend it to any of my friends and family who were considering it. They HAVE to return people's money, especially in this dire situation.

News about Emirates' cheap tactics starting to make the rounds on blogs too. They better their act together and give full refunds for canceled flights or they are sure to lose clientele.
