Pay your visa application fees.
Whenever online payment is available, Consul Bot pays the visa centre fee and sends the receipt to the chat. No bank queues.
It pays for every applicant in one go and keeps each receipt with your application, so all of them are ready to print for your visit to the visa centre.
The consulate requires tickets and a hotel. Do I have to buy them now?
No need to buy yet, a real reservation with a PNR is enough. Want me to book 10–24 Feb 2027 for both of you?
Yes, go ahead

Review your visa documents.
Consul Bot reviews every document for issues and discrepancies, from an expired passport to names that do not match.
Then it rates your application out of 10 and tells you what to fix, which documents are still missing and how to make it stronger.
Of course. Send them over and I’ll check each one for issues and discrepancies

Your application is good: 8 out of 10. One thing to fix: your bank statement is older than the consulate accepts. A fresh one makes it strong
Great, I’ll get a new one today
Reuse your info for future visas.
Future visa applications are even faster. Share your details and documents once, and Consul Bot remembers them.
No more filling out the same forms. Next time, Consul Bot reuses your saved details and asks you to confirm them. For another country or another family member, you only add what is new or has changed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Consul Bot and how it gets your visa done.
What is Consul Bot and how can I use it?
Consul Bot is a highly specialized AI assistant, trained specifically on visa applications. Like a human agent, it works with its own computer and browser.
It accurately guides you through the whole application and handles the key tasks, such as filling out forms and booking appointments. It works online, 24/7.
To use it, start a chat on Telegram, as you would with a travel agent. Consul Bot collects what it needs, does the paperwork and sends you the finished documents, all in the chat.
How is Consul Bot different from other visa service providers?
Traditional visa services rely entirely on humans, which makes them slower, more expensive, and prone to human error. Consul Bot is powered by advanced AI. It automates the process, is available 24/7, and delivers fast, accurate results.
How is Consul Bot different from ChatGPT?
While ChatGPT can provide general visa guidance, it often lacks the accuracy needed for your specific situation. Consul Bot, on the other hand, is more accurate and reliable thanks to its specialized training by human visa consultants for all sorts of visa situations. It is also continuously improved through real experiences from applicants like you. That means every visa it helps prepare makes it smarter, faster, and more accurate for the next one.
In addition, Consul Bot doesn't just give advice. It actually gets things done. It can handle visa-related tasks on your behalf, such as completing complex application forms, scheduling consulate appointments, organizing required documents, and a lot more.
What can Consul Bot do, and what can't it do?
Consul Bot can handle almost everything your local travel agent can, like filling out application forms, scheduling visa appointments, and reserving flights and hotels for your visa.
However, just like a human travel agent, there are certain things only you can do, such as obtaining your bank statements, getting your employment letter signed, or taking your visa photos. For these, Consul Bot can guide you through the process, but it can't do them for you.
How does Consul Bot handle AI mistakes?
While Consul Bot is more reliable than ChatGPT when it comes to visa information, it's still an AI, and like all AI systems, it can make mistakes. That's why you're always in the loop: you review everything Consul Bot prepares before it's used or submitted, and you can point out and correct any issue you notice.
Do I still need to go to a visa interview?
Yes. You are still required to attend your visa interview and provide your biometrics in person. Consul Bot's role is to help you secure the appointment and prepare for it quickly and accurately, so you know what to expect and what to bring.
Does Consul Bot guarantee visa approval?
No. Consul Bot is not affiliated with any consulate or visa center, and the final decision is always made by the visa officer handling your application.
While Consul Bot cannot guarantee visa approval, it can significantly improve your chances by helping you prepare a complete, accurate, and well-presented application.
What types of visas does Consul Bot support?
Consul Bot focuses on tourist, family visit and business visas. We plan to add other visa types as we build more experience and expertise in those areas.
Which countries can Consul Bot help you get a visa to?
Consul Bot focuses on Schengen visas. It currently supports Italy, and support for France, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Austria and Croatia is coming soon. Our long-term goal is to help travelers apply for any tourist visa to any country worldwide.
From which countries can I apply for a visa using Consul Bot?
Right now, Consul Bot supports Russian citizens and residents applying in Russia. Our long-term goal is to support anyone, living anywhere, applying for any visa. We're constantly training Consul Bot on the requirements of each location, so your application complies with the rules of the local consulate handling your visa.
Is the flight reservation real, and will the consulate accept it?
Yes. Consul Bot books a real flight reservation for your visa, with a real PNR (booking code) in Sabre, the global booking system that airlines and travel agents use. It arrives in your chat as soon as it is booked, usually in under a minute. It isn't a paid ticket, so it can't be checked on the airline's own website, and it cancels itself after a few days.
Consulates often accept it, but that isn't guaranteed. If you can afford it, we recommend booking and paying for a fully refundable ticket yourself, so it stays active and can be checked on the airline's website.
Is the hotel booking real, and do I have to pay for it?
Yes. Consul Bot makes a real hotel booking on ostrovok.ru, exactly as you would yourself, with free cancellation and nothing paid upfront. The confirmation arrives in your chat as soon as the booking goes through, usually within a few minutes.
We cancel it automatically before your planned arrival, so there is nothing to remember. You get the same booking, with a lot less hassle.
Does the travel insurance meet the consulate's requirements?
Yes. Consul Bot gets a travel medical policy with at least €30,000 of medical cover, valid in all Schengen countries for your exact travel dates, as the consulate requires. Every traveller gets their own policy, ready to print for your appointment. The policies arrive in your chat as soon as they are issued, usually in under a minute.
How does Consul Bot handle my personal data?
Your personal data is securely stored so it can be reused for future visa applications. That saves you time and spares you from entering the same information again.
Consul Bot never shares your data with anyone except when required to process your visa, and it is never used to train large language models (LLMs). You remain in control at all times and can request to have all your data deleted whenever you wish.
How do I connect with a human visa consultant?
We get it: no one likes feeling stuck with a bot. That's why you can always ask Consul Bot to connect you with a human visa consultant. Just keep in mind that this may significantly increase response times and, like with any human process, it can be more prone to errors.
In most cases though, you're actually better off with the AI. Consul Bot isn't just another bot. It's designed to feel like you're chatting with a real person. In fact, some of your messages may already be handled by a human consultant behind the scenes, and you might not even notice the difference, except maybe in how fast you get a reply.
How much does it cost to use Consul Bot?
Prices are listed in the pricing section above: everything for one visa for 5,000 ₽, or single services from 1,000 ₽, such as flight or hotel reservations. The documents check, 24/7 consultation and cover and invitation letters are free. Our prices don’t include the visa centre’s service fee, the consular visa fee or travel insurance. When Consul Bot pays the visa centre fee or the insurance for you, it is added at cost to the same invoice, which you pay in the chat.
What is Consul Bot's refund policy?
Your payment includes the visa centre fee and insurance, which we pay to them right away and which they don't refund. Our service is also delivered instantly. So we don't offer refunds, except in exceptional cases: for example, when something we prepared contained an error, or you did not receive your appointment, flight or hotel confirmation. If that happens, write to us at hi@consul.bot.
