Customers will also have the option to choose additional services designed to make the application process easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the launch of the new Centre, Alok Singhal, Head- Sub-Saharan Africa, VFS Global, said, \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a partner to the UK Visas and Immigration since 2003, VFS Global offered visa services in 58 countries before the new contract. The company was recently awarded a contract to provide UK visa services in 142 countries worldwide. In the African region, VFS Global will provide Visa Application Centres for the UK in 31 countries, from October 2024.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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\u2019s new state-of-the-art Visa Application Centre in Accra.
