Short answer — Ireland
A missing confirmation email does not mean the appointment failed. The authoritative record is inside your portal account, where the appointment letter can be re-downloaded at any time. Check the account first, then fix the email delivery problem.
Why this happens
Confirmations are frequently filtered into spam, blocked by corporate mail servers, or sent to a mistyped address in the profile.
At VFS Global in India, Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) sets the underlying rule and the centre applies it at the counter, so the fix below is the same whichever Indian city you apply from.
Step by step: appointment confirmation not received Ireland

The appointment letter under your application dashboard is the document the centre accepts.
- Search spam and promotions
Search by the sender domain rather than by subject line.

How we source this information
Fees, processing windows and document lists are re-checked against the mission's official publication and the appointed application centre's portal, then cross-referenced with bookings our desk completed in the last 90 days. Where the two disagree, the official source is what we publish.
For this page that means the official embassy or consulate website and the appointed centre portal (VFS / BLS / TLScontact).
Compliance & our scope of service
Travel To Abroad is an independent travel assistance company. We are not a government body, embassy, consulate or an authorised VAC. All applications are submitted through the official channel of the destination country and every fee, decision and interview outcome rests solely with that authority.
We assist with slot booking, rescheduling, documentation review and supporting travel documents. We do not guarantee visa approval and we do not offer immigration or legal advice.
Important: Appointment availability, government fees and document requirements can change without notice. Always confirm the latest details on the official embassy / VAC website before travel. Nothing on this page constitutes legal, immigration or financial advice.
We provide assistance with official visa processes. We do not guarantee appointment availability or visa outcomes. Decisions rest solely with the relevant embassy, consulate, or authorised visa application centre.
