A few weeks ago, VFS Global has posted an urgent note of caution for visa seekers in the UAE and other countries, where it instructed them not to pay any fees to third parties purporting to represent the company in any way. This advisory has been released before the onset of the summer holidays that is usually characterized by massive travels. VFS Global also notes that it still does not make money from booking appointments on its main Internet site, vfsglobal. com. The appointment booking, on the other hand, may include service fees that can be paid in advance by some governments then refunded or adjusted on another occasion. This measure will help filter out people not in genuine need of the system or con artists posing as such.

Services like Visa At Your Door, Premium Lounge, do not expedite processing time but it can be availed in case of emergency.
