VFS Global and the Radisson Hotel Group have formed a strategic partnership in India. VFS Global intends to operate UK Premium Application Centres from the hotel chain’s properties in Amritsar, Ludhiana, Mohali, and Noida, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, respectively.
This summer, UK visa applicants can schedule appointments at any of the Premium Application Centres located at the Radisson Blu Hotel Amritsar, Radisson RED Chandigarh Mohali, Park Plaza Ludhiana, and Radisson Noida in order to submit their applications and enrol their biometrics. In addition to the visa application facilities located in Chandigarh, Jalandhar, and New Delhi, this partnership will provide customers in Punjab and Noida with four new location options.
Customers who choose to submit their documents and enrol biometrics at any of the Radisson Hotel Group’s properties will receive a variety of complimentary services, including document scanning assistance, SMS updates on visa application status, and Courier return of passport. In addition, they will receive a complimentary beverage, a 10% discount on food and beverages, complimentary parking at the hotel, and Premium Membership in the Radisson Rewards programme.
Acting British High Commissioner to India Christina Scott stated, “Indian visitors, professionals, and students make a tremendously positive contribution to the United Kingdom. Indian travellers obtain the largest proportion of UK visas worldwide and are an integral part of the unique living bridge that connects our nations. This is why we have the largest network of visa application centres right here in India, and it’s great to see that number grow due to the new partnership between VFS Global and Radisson hotels.”
Radisson Hotel Group’s Managing Director and Area Senior Vice President for South Asia, Zubin Saxena, stated, “We are delighted to partner with VFS Global on a strategic initiative that offers UK visa applicants convenience at our properties. Through the inauguration of these new visa centres, we hope to extend the warm hospitality and exceptional services of the Radisson Hotel Group and provide customers with easy access to plan their international travel.”
VFS Global’s Chief Operating Officer for South Asia, Prabuddha Sen, stated, “The partnership with Radisson Hotel Group provides our customers with additional and strategically located touchpoints. Customers applying for UK visas will continue to appreciate the same comfort, convenience, and best-in-class services at these locations as they do at our Visa Application Centres, in addition to experiencing the comfort and hospitality of the Radisson Hotel Group’s properties.”
Since 2004, VFS Global has maintained a long-standing relationship with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) in India, providing visa services in 12 cities.
