The Delhi-based VFS Global Shifts Schengen, UK, and Ireland Visa Application Center
On January 12, 2026, VFS Global will relocate its New Delhi visa application center to Connaught Place. Applicants seeking Schengen, UK, and Ireland visas are impacted by the change, and there is a brief transition period for passport pickup.
This is an update that you should bookmark if you want to apply for a Schengen, UK, or Ireland visa in New Delhi early next year.
The new location of VFS Global's Visa Application Center in New Delhi has been confirmed. The UK, Ireland, and a number of well-known European travel destinations will be impacted by the shift, which goes into force on January 12, 2026.
New Address for Applications for Schengen Visas
Schengen visa applicants must visit the new center at: starting on January 12, 2026.
VFS Global House, 27 Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi, 110001
The following nations' visa applications will be handled at this location:
Denmark and Croatia
Finland
Iceland
Malta
Norway
Slovenia
Sweden
You should go to this place if you have an appointment on or after January 12, 2026.
Explaining Temporary Arrangements for Passport Collection
This is the part that many tourists overlook.
The Shivaji Stadium Metro Station will continue to accept passports till January 16, 2026.
The new Kasturba Gandhi Marg address will be the permanent location for passport collection starting on January 19, 2026.
This actually means that passport pickup and visa submission may take place at different places for a brief period of time. You won't have to make a second trip across the city if you plan ahead.
The UK and Ireland Visa Center is also relocating.
Schengen visas are not the end of the transformation.
Beginning on January 12, 2026, the UK & Ireland Visa Application Center in New Delhi will also move to VFS Global House, KG Marg.
The previous site will no longer offer services after that date. Anyone arriving there will have to make the trip to Connaught Place.
Things Candidates Should Consider
Prior to scheduling a taxi or determining your metro route, confirm:
The date of your appointment
The appropriate address for pickup or submission
Whether the temporary passport collection period coincides with your stay
On visa day, little things like this might prevent hours of confusion.
Concluding Remarks
Schengen, UK, and Ireland visa services are now centralized at a single Connaught Place location thanks to a move by VFS Global. A brief changeover time for passport collection in mid-January is the only exception.
Update your preparations now to avoid last-minute shocks if you want to apply in early 2026.
