Expedited shipping, also known as express shipping or fast shipping, is a type of shipping service that, in comparison to standard shipping methods, can deliver packages or documents to their destination more quickly.
VFS Global offers expedited shipping services. The specific cost of expedited shipping can vary depending on both the destination country and the type of visa for which you're applying. Details regarding the cost of expedited shipping can be found on the VFS Global website.
To access expedited shipping, you must choose this option during the visa application procedure. Additionally, there is an extra fee associated with expedited shipping.
Opting for expedited shipping will expedite the processing and delivery of your visa application. It's important to keep in mind, however, that the embassy or consulate of the destination country may still have its own processing timeframe, even if you've selected expedited shipping.
