Please note that from 16 August 2025, our payment procedures have been updated for India. Customers applying through a User Pays Visa Application Centre or wishing to use optional UKVI Priority Services need to select these services online at the time of reserving their appointment. Payment for these services then need to be made online via the VFS dashboard prior to the appointment date. Failure to do so will result in delays at the Visa Application Centre or the need to cancel and reschedule the appointment.

From 16 August 2025, it will no longer be possible to upgrade to Priority Services during the appointment at the Visa Application Centre (VAC). Customers wishing to purchase VFS provided optional services (such as Courier Return or Document Upload Assistance) will still be able to make their payments both online and at their appointment using a credit or debit card.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
