Visa Application Centre service changes in Europe, Africa and Middle East

Visa application centres (VACs) have contracts with the Government of Canada to provide visa application support services and biometrics (fingerprints and photographs).

Currently, the following services are offered as a package at VACs in Europe, Africa and the Middle East:

• submitting paper application

• sending documents (such as passport) and returning them to you

• collecting biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) by appointment and/or walk-in

Beginning November 2, 2019, at VACs in Europe, Africa and the Middle East you will be required to:

• pay an extra fee to submit your paper application (fee is different by location)

• make an appointment to provide your biometrics (no more walk-in)

Also, new VAC websites will be launched in October for all VACs in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The below two VACs will be closed effective November 29, 2019:

• Sofia, Bulgaria

• Podgorica, Montenegro
