Numbers count the times our checks found availability, not appointments remaining. Dimmed days are days we were not watching this province.
When appointments appear
Madrid local time, last 30 days. Appointments are usually taken within minutes of appearing.
Availability by procedure
Procedures where our checks found availability in the last 30 days, most active first.
Daily digest on Telegram
Every morning we post where availability appeared the day before, province by province.
Where these numbers come from
Cita Ping checks the official cita previa website around the clock for immigration and police procedures in Barcelona. Every count on this page is a moment one of those checks actually saw availability — not an estimate, and not a promise that an appointment is still free.
Coverage is never exhaustive, so a quiet chart can mean genuinely scarce appointments — or simply a stretch our data does not cover. Absence of data never means appointments do not exist.
When do cita previa slots appear in Barcelona?
Over the last 30 days, appointments in Barcelona appeared most often in the afternoon. Availability showed up on 29 of the last 30 days.
Offices release slots in bursts, often at consistent times of day. The calendar shows which days something appeared; the time-of-day pattern shows when. Both reflect what was found, and found slots are usually taken within minutes.
Use the per-procedure table to see where supply actually shows up — some procedures release appointments steadily while others go weeks with nothing.
How Cita Ping helps
Instead of refreshing the official website, set up an alert for your procedure in Barcelona. Cita Ping keeps checking and notifies you by email or Telegram the moment an appointment appears.
When an appointment appears
Book straight away on the official website — Cita Ping never books for you. Have your passport number, NIE, and contact details ready before the notification arrives; the difference between getting the appointment and missing it is usually under a minute.
Citas appear without warning
We keep checking around the clock and message you on Telegram or by email as soon as we spot one for your procedure.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Cita Ping book appointments for me?
- No. We send you a notification when a slot opens, and you book it yourself on the official website. Cita Ping is an independent service and never touches the booking system on your behalf.
- How fast are the notifications?
- Telegram notifications usually arrive within seconds of a slot appearing. Email takes a little longer because mail servers add their own delays. Enabling both gives you the best chance.
- Why do appointments disappear so fast?
- More people need appointments than the offices can serve, especially in the big provinces. There is no queue — the first person to submit the form gets the slot. That is why an instant notification beats refreshing the page by hand.
- Is Cita Ping an official government service?
- No. Cita Ping is an independent service with no connection to the Spanish government, the police, or any immigration office. We tell you when appointments appear; the booking itself always happens on the official site.
- Can I monitor multiple offices or procedures at once?
- Yes. Each alert watches one procedure and office combination, and you can run several at once. Every alert sends its own notifications.
