VFS Global has entered into a strategic partnership with the Radisson Hotel Group in India to offer UK visa services to applicants in North region of the country. Through this alliance, VFS Global aims to operate UK Premium Application Centres from the hotel chain’s properties in Amritsar, Ludhiana, Mohali in Punjab, and Noida in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the information shared by VFS, UK visa applicants can now book appointments at any of the Premium Application Centres located at Radisson Blu Hotel Amritsar, Radisson RED Chandigarh Mohali, Park Plaza Ludhiana, and Radisson Noida for submitting their applications and enrolling biometrics this summer season.
Such applicants at any of the Radisson Hotel Group’s properties will get a range of complimentary services such as document scanning assistance, SMS notifications on status of visa application, and Courier return of passport. Additionally, they will get complimentary refreshment, a 10 per cent discount on food and beverages, free parking at the hotel premises, and premium membership of the Radisson Rewards program.
Elaborating on the partnership, Christina Scott, Acting British High Commissioner to India, said, “Indian visitors, professionals, and students make an immensely positive contribution to the UK. Indian travellers receive the largest share of UK visas issued globally and are integral to the unique living bridge that connects our countries. That is why we have our largest network of visa application centres right here in India, and it is great to see that number increase further thanks to this new partnership between VFS Global and Radisson hotels.”
The hotel group will add over 1,400 rooms to its African portfolio. One notable market entry is the Group’s venture into Gambia with the construction of the first internationally branded hotel in the country. In addition, the group will make a debut of the Radisson Collection brand to Nigeria and Egypt.
Zubin Saxena, Managing Director & Area Senior Vice President – South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group said, “We are delighted to partner with VFS Global for a strategic initiative that offers convenience to UK visa applicants at our hotels. Through the opening of these new visa centres, we look forward to extending the warm hospitality and exceptional services of the Radisson Hotel Group and providing customers with convenient access to plan their international travel.”Prabuddha Sen, Chief Operating Officer-South Asia, VFS Global, said, “The partnership with Radisson Hotel Group provides additional and conveniently located touchpoints to our customers. UK visa customers will continue to enjoy the same comfort, convenience, and best-in-class services at these locations that they do at our Visa Application Centres, as well as experience the comfort and hospitality offered by the Radisson Hotel Group’s properties.”
VFS Global has enjoyed a long-standing relation with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) in India since 2004, offering UK visa services through centres in 12 cities.
