Before booking a VFS appointment, complete your application on visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/bgr ↗ and download the signed form. VFS Kochi requires this form at the time of submission.
Go to visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/bgr → click "Book an Appointment" → select Kochi as your centre. If no slots are visible, check back early morning — slots are released daily.
Choose your preferred slot. If travelling as a family, book all applicants under one appointment group. Optionally add Premium Lounge or Prime Time slots for priority processing at an additional fee.
Pay the VFS service charge online and any optional service fees. Save and print your appointment confirmation — you must carry this to the centre.
