VFS Global Shifts Delhi Visa Centre to Connaught Place

VFS Global shifts Schengen, UK, and Ireland visa application centres in New Delhi to Connaught Place from 12 January 2026. Updated address, passport collection timelines, and key guidance for travel agents.

Visa processing logistics are critical for client satisfaction—especially in peak travel and corporate movement seasons. In a significant operational update, VFS Global has officially relocated its New Delhi Visa Application Centre for Schengen countries, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.

This change is effective 12 January 2026 and has direct implications for travel agents, visa facilitators, and corporate travel planners managing multiple applications daily.

New Address: Schengen Visa Applications in New Delhi

From 12 January 2026, all Schengen visa submissions in New Delhi will be handled at the new centralised location:

VFS Global House

27, Kasturba Gandhi Marg
Connaught Place
New Delhi – 110001

This centre will accept applications for the following Schengen destinations:

• Croatia

• Denmark

• Finland

• Iceland

• Malta

• Norway

• Slovenia

• Sweden

Important: Any appointment scheduled on or after this date must be attended at the Connaught Place address.

Passport Collection: Temporary Transition Timeline

This is a crucial operational detail that B2B agents should proactively communicate to clients.

• Up to 16 January 2026:
  
  Passport collection will continue at Shivaji Stadium Metro Station

• From 19 January 2026 onwards:
  
  Passport collection shifts permanently to VFS Global House, Kasturba Gandhi Marg

During this short transition window, submission and collection locations may differ, requiring careful itinerary planning.

UK and Ireland Visa Application Centre: Same Shift Applies

The relocation also includes the UK and Ireland Visa Application Centre in New Delhi.

• Effective 12 January 2026

• All services move to VFS Global House, Connaught Place

• No visa services will be available at the previous location after this date

Applicants arriving at the old centre will need to travel to Connaught Place, leading to avoidable delays if not informed in advance.

What Travel Agents and Corporate Planners Should Double-Check

To ensure seamless client handling, verify the following before scheduling visits:

• Correct appointment date and visa category

• Updated submission and collection addresses

• Whether the visit falls within the passport transition period

• Local travel time buffers, especially for corporate or group applicants

Proactive communication here can prevent missed appointments and client dissatisfaction.

Key Takeaway for the B2B Travel Trade

By consolidating Schengen, UK, and Ireland visa services at a prime Connaught Place location, VFS Global aims to streamline operations in New Delhi. However, the mid-January passport collection transition requires extra attention from travel professionals managing multiple cases.

Early planning and clear client instructions will be essential to maintain smooth visa operations in early 2026.
