VFS Global’s Visa at Your Doorstep (VAYD) service is gaining popularity among UK travellers, offering a seamless and time-saving solution for visa applications.

The service allows applicants to complete the visa process from their preferred location, whether at home, the office, or a hotel, eliminating the need to visit a VFS Global visa center.

Recently, South Shore Productions, a UK-based television company, utilised the VAYD service when applying for visas to travel to India for a documentary on cricket legend Freddie Flintoff.

The company’s spokesperson praised the service, highlighting its convenience and efficiency, especially when dealing with multiple applications. “The VFS Global team came to our office to process visas for 14 staff members, saving us the hassle of visiting the visa center. The passports were returned with visas promptly,” they said.

Anirudh Singh, COO for Europe and CIS at VFS Global, noted a significant rise in demand for the VAYD service. “As travelers increasingly seek personalised and convenient options, our VAYD service is perfectly suited to meet these needs. Our staff, equipped with mobile kits for biometric capture, ensure a hassle-free experience by visiting applicants at their chosen location,” he added.

In addition to India, the VAYD service is available for visas to several other countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Malta, Croatia, Ireland, Cyprus, and South Africa. VFS Global also offers form-filling assistance to ensure applications are completed accurately, further streamlining the visa process for travellers.

This service expansion comes as India experiences a surge in inbound tourism, with a 64% increase in foreign tourist arrivals last year compared to 2022. The UK remains a key market, ranking as the third-largest source of tourists to India, and services like VAYD are making it easier for business and leisure travellers alike to visit the country.
