With outbound travel from India to the UK continuing to witness steady demand, VFS Global is spotlighting its network of 12 Premium Application Centres (PACs) across India for UK visa applicants seeking a more convenient and personalised submission experience.
The UK Premium Application Centres, operated by VFS Global in partnership with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), are designed for applicants who value comfort, privacy, and time efficiency, including business travellers, families, senior citizens, and professionals with busy schedules.
The centres are currently operational in Amritsar, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Calicut, Coimbatore, Guwahati, Indore, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Mangalore, Noida, and Visakhapatnam.
Designed around convenience and flexibility
The PACs offer a premium environment while continuing to follow all UKVI guidelines and processes. Applicants choosing these centres can access services such as biometric enrolment, document upload assistance, and food and beverage facilities, depending on the location.
Customers can also opt for additional support services from VFS Global, including assistance with UKVI account creation.
Appointments for the Premium Application Centres can be selected while completing the online UK visa application process.
Yummi Talwar, Chief Operating Officer – South Asia, VFS Global, said, “Indian travellers today increasingly seek convenience, comfort, and flexibility. Our UK Premium Application Centres across India are designed specifically to meet these expectations, offering customers a more streamlined and personalised experience while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.”
Optional premium service for applicants
VFS Global clarified that the Premium Application Centre service is optional and available at an additional cost. The company also noted that opting for a PAC has no influence on the outcome of a visa application, which remains solely under the jurisdiction of UK Visas and Immigration.
Applicants who prefer not to use the premium service can continue submitting their visa applications through standard UK Visa Application Centres across India, subject to applicable UKVI service fees.
VFS Global has partnered with UK Visas and Immigration since 2003 and currently provides UK visa services in 142 countries worldwide.
