VFS Global verification

VFS Global is the intermediary that handles visa applications for many countries. Phone verification is requested when you create an account on the application portal and, in some country implementations, at the appointment stage. A code is sent to the number and the account is verified.

The VFS portal behaves differently by country: some require only email verification, others make SMS mandatory.

How to get a number

  1. Add credit and open the panel.
  2. Pick the VFS Global service, then the country.
  3. Enter the number with its country code in the phone field on the application portal.
  4. Read the code from the panel and submit it.

Important warning about the application process

A visa application is an official process. VFS Global and the relevant consulate may send appointment changes, missing-document notices or cancellation messages to the number you supplied on the application. A virtual number returns to the pool once the transaction ends; to avoid missing those notices you must set your own reachable number on the application record.

Use the virtual number only for the SMS verification step of the portal registration, not as the contact number for the application itself.

Why is the country list shorter?

VFS verification does not accept every country number, and the service is unavailable in some regions. The country list on this page is read from live inventory and is shorter than on our general platform pages.

If the code never arrives

If the window closes without a code, the transaction is cancelled and the amount is credited back to your balance.
