VFS Global, therefore, won’t offer visa seeking immigrants any guidance of the immigration rules and is a processing operation. Prospective immigrants will thus still need to consult with immigration lawyers or gather the rules from the Departments website.

VFS will not make a determination to allow or refuse a Visa. This determination remains with the Department of Home Affairs.
