VFS Global is proud to announce that residents of Ghana, traveling to the UK can now book appointments to submit their visa applications through VFS Global’s new state-of-the-art Visa Application Centre in Accra.
Effective 22 October 2024, customers applying for a UK visa will be directed to VFS Global to book an appointment to complete their visa application. Customers will also have the option to choose additional services designed to make the application process easier.
Commenting on the launch of the new Centre, Alok Singhal, Head- Sub-Saharan Africa, VFS Global, said, “We are excited to embark on this new journey with UK Visas and Immigration here in Ghana. We have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with UK Visas and Immigration since 2003 and look forward to now bringing travellers from Ghana our best-in-class services.”
UK visa customers can now choose from a range of optional services offered by VFS Global to enhance their comfort and convenience. These include document upload assistance, Prime Time for application submission outside of business hours, SMS notifications, document checking service, and courier return of the passport once a decision has been made.
Customers can also submit their UK visa applications from the comfort and safety of their home, office, or any other preferred location with our On Demand Mobile Visa service. VFS Global’s Keep My Passport While Applying service allows customers to keep their passports once their application is submitted and biometrics have been enrolled. Customers will only need to re-submit their passports when a decision is reached.
The services can be booked in advance on https://visa.vfsglobal.com/gha/en/gbr or at the Visa Application Centre at the time of the appointment. They are completely optional and do not affect the processing timeline or outcomes of visa applications.
