VFS Global is the world's largest visa outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide. The company manages the administrative and non-judgmental tasks related to visa, passport and consular services for its client governments.

VFS Global provides a wide range of services aimed at enhancing customer experience in public services with an automated and seamless process. However, VFS Global does not play any part in the decision-making process behind visa applications being granted or denied.

VFS Global employs highly trained and dedicated staff across 5 continents and is continually investing in its people and technology operations. The company offers rewarding and exciting career opportunities across the globe. VFS Global has its headquarters in Zurich/Switzerland and Dubai/United Arab Emirates.
