The Mobile Visa Application Centre (MVAC) is a customised mobile facility, equipped with end-to-end technology to enroll biometrics and accept UK visa applications remotely from any location for individual or group submissions. This innovative conceptual solution caters to applicants who may face challenges in accessing the nearest fixed Visa Application Centre and would therefore prefer the centre to come to them. The flexibility of the MVAC solution also gives governments the unique ability to access the customer on-site for either seasonal or location specific needs.
Key benefits of VFS Global's Mobile Visa Application Centre:
- Convenience to visa applicants through improved accessibility
- Greater reach for governments, authorities with the ability to service remote locations
- Requirements can be scheduled on-demand at short notice to service applicant-surges or emergencies at any location
- Data capture and transfer through secure and certified systems
Kaushik Ghosh, Head - Australasia, VFS Global, said, "With the addition of our fourth state-of-the-art MVAC to our network in Bangkok, we aim to enhance the overall application and service experience of the UK visa applicants, irrespective of their location. This cost-effective technology enables secure submission of biometric data, does not require a permanent physical infrastructure, and acts as a reliable backup to a physical Visa Application Centre with its round-the-clock service capabilities."
To book this service, applicants must select any of the four Mobile VAC locations in Bangkok after applying for their visa online.
