New facility offers easier and faster application services for residents of Madhya Pradesh’s capital
VFS Global has launched a new Premium Application Centre in Bhopal, making it easier for residents to apply for UK visas. This new centre, located at the Taj Lakefront, eliminates the need to travel to major cities, offering a more convenient and comfortable visa process close to home.
This move marks the 13th Premium Application Centre set up in a non-metropolitan city in India. It reflects VFS Global’s ongoing efforts to bring high-quality visa services to smaller urban centres.
Wider Reach Through Tier-II and III Cities
The Bhopal facility is part of a broader push by VFS Global to expand its presence across India. The company now operates 12 other UK Premium Application Centres in key Tier-II and Tier-III cities. These centres are located at well-known hotels and business hubs such as Radisson Blu in Amritsar, Indore, Guwahati, Nagpur, and Noida; the Gateway Hotel in Calicut; Ibis in Thane; Hotel Vivanta in Mangalore; Green Park in Visakhapatnam; The Leela Grand in Karnal; Park Inn in Surat; and its own office in Coimbatore.
Each of these centres was strategically chosen to offer easy access, comfort, and efficiency for visa applicants in those regions. With this network in place, people from smaller cities no longer need to make long trips to metropolitan areas to apply for a UK visa.
Premium Packages for a Smoother Experience
To further improve the application process, VFS Global has introduced two premium packages: Comfort Plus and Convenience Plus. These services are tailored to meet different customer needs and make the visa process more flexible and stress-free.
Comfort Plus Package
This package is designed for applicants who want a premium experience. It includes access to a dedicated Premium Lounge, SMS updates on application status, and help with uploading documents. It also offers doorstep delivery of passports, saving applicants time and effort.
Convenience Plus Service
This service focuses on flexibility. It allows applicants to choose appointment times that best suit their schedules through the Flexi Appointments feature. Another key benefit is Keep My Passport, which lets applicants keep their passport during the processing period. Like Comfort Plus, it also includes document upload help, SMS updates, and doorstep delivery.
Improving Visa Access Across India
The new Bhopal centre represents an important step in making international travel more accessible to people living outside major urban centres. With this launch, VFS Global is continuing its mission to deliver world-class visa services to all parts of India, regardless of city size.
As demand for UK visas grows, especially for travel, education, and business purposes, the Bhopal centre is expected to become a preferred choice for local residents. It combines convenience with quality service, helping more Indians achieve their global travel goals with ease.
