Schengen Visa Scandal: Bots Snatch Midnight Slots to Sell Them for €1,000 on Black Market
Turkish citizens dreaming of Europe are being pushed out of the system, not only in obtaining a Schengen visa, but now even in applying for one. Firuz Bağlıkaya, the President of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), made some striking remarks based on the Schengen visa data for 2025 recently published by the European Union (EU) Commission. Bağlıkaya revealed that the limited number of appointments are blocked within seconds by bot accounts, and then sold on the black market at astronomical prices.
