VFS Visa Application Centre
Been here for UK Skill Worker visa.
Reaching the place by MRT: Get down at Telok Ayer, exit via A & need to walk about 5mins. VFS office is in 8th Floor of the Building.
Passport/Biometrics submission: VFS Singapore office have 6 counters for the UK (Counter 12-17).
If you have submitted UKVI application & uploaded documents already, you need to declare the documents were uploaded. Staff at the counter will try to sell as many services to you, as he can 😜
After you Declare on application form/pay for services, you will be asked to wait for Biometrics submission. Biometrics will be done immediately.
Total time I spent for Passport submission: 12mins.
I opted for SMS service & got a message that Visa is processed within 1week of Submission. I went through Standard service only.
Passport Collection: Document collection is 2-4PM after you receive information that the visa is processed.
Brace yourself, there will be long queue for passport Collection & they had only 1counter for delivering the document back. Depending on the number of people came to collect, they should atleast have 3 counters. Not sure if the staff is limited.
I spent ~45mins to collect the document back.
Screen displaying the token number was on top of counter 12, which will not be visible to all people waiting. So need to check the screen at regular intervals.
Overall it's a good experience.
Standard Service for UK Skilled Worker Visa Submission:
Passport submitted: 23rd March
Visa Processed Message/Passport Collection: 30th March.
I don't see any need for opting Premium/Express services as timeline is same for both standard, premium.
