The UK Foreign Office has announced that, effective October 22, 2024, anyone in Ghana applying for visas to enter the UK will need to use a new visa application centre (VAC).
What to Expect
- The UK’s third-party VAC supplier in Ghana is changing to VFSGlobal on this date.
- This means applicants in Ghana will need to complete their applications with VFSGlobal, even if they have begun the process with the previous supplier, TLScontact.
- Affected applicants will be contacted by email. However, this change will not affect visa application decisions, processing times or prices.
- The change is expected to lead to shorter biometric and application submission times on average.
The UK’s global network of VACs is managed by third party suppliers on behalf of UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The new location for the Ghanaian VAC is Mezzanine Floor, Grand Oyeeman Building, South Liberation Link, Accra.
