Riyadh - VFS Global has unveiled a brand new top tier service, the 'On Demand Mobile Biometrics' service, to enhance flexibility of the visa application experience for UK visa applicants in Saudi Arabia.

The new service is designed specifically for customers who want to sit back and relax while their visa application is taken care of, in the comfort of their home, office or any location of choice.

The 'On Demand Mobile Biometrics' service is available to individuals and groups, such as corporate employees, or families, who prefer not to travel to the visa application centres to apply. Instead, a small team will travel to the applicant's chosen location to complete the biometric enrolment process (capturing fingerprint scans and a photograph).

Offering privacy and comfort, away from the hustle and bustle of the main application centre, the service can be used to obtain long term UK visas, popular with frequent travellers.

The cost of the service starts at £750 / SAR 4612.50 for an individual, with discounted bespoke pricing for groups, depending on size.

To find out more about this service, or to book an appointment, please write to UKvisaondemandGulf@vfshelpline.com.

Added Srinarayan Sankaran - COO, Middle East, VFS Global, "This service signifies the next level of innovation and flexibility in visa application, while maintaining the integrity of the security aspects of the process. We are proud to partner with UK Visas and Immigration in developing and offering this service for applicants and truly believe it will redefine customer service and convenience for UK-bound travellers."
