VFS Global Brings Singapore Visa Services to North and South India

Singapore Visa Gets Easier: New VFS Centres Open in Chandigarh and Chennai

In a major boost for travellers from regional India, VFS Global has officially launched new Singapore Visa Application Centres in Chandigarh and Chennai on 15 April 2026. This development comes after its appointment as an Authorised Visa Agent by the High Commission of the Republic of Singapore in New Delhi and the Consulate-General of the Republic of Singapore.

The move is expected to simplify the visa process for applicants across Punjab, Haryana and Tamil Nadu, who earlier had to travel to metro cities like Delhi to submit their applications.

Why This Expansion Matters

For years, visa applicants from North and South India faced logistical challenges due to limited visa submission centres. With the launch of these new facilities, travellers can now access modern visa services closer to home.

This expansion reduces travel time, lowers additional costs and makes the overall visa process smoother and more convenient for both leisure and business travellers.

Official Statement

“We are honoured to be appointed as the Authorised Visa Agent for Singapore visa in Chandigarh and Chennai. We sincerely thank the Singapore High Commission and remain committed to supporting safe and seamless travel.”

What This Means for Travellers

This expansion is a big advantage for travellers in Tier 2 cities. Residents of Punjab and Tamil Nadu can now complete the entire visa process locally without travelling long distances.

Whether you are planning a holiday to Sentosa, visiting family or attending business meetings in Singapore, the process is now faster and more accessible.

For travel agents and tour operators, this opens new opportunities to promote Singapore packages with greater ease, especially from regional markets where demand is already strong.

Important Note for Applicants

VFS Global only manages administrative tasks such as application submission, document collection and biometric data.

All visa approvals and rejections are handled solely by Singapore authorities. Applicants must apply at the centre based on their state:

• Chandigarh Centre: Punjab and Haryana

• Chennai Centre: Tamil Nadu

This development marks a strong step toward decentralising visa services in India, making international travel simpler, faster and more accessible for everyone.
