VFS Global has cautioned Thai travellers against visa scams, urging them to apply early as outbound travel demand rises. The visa outsourcing firm hosted an awareness event in Bangkok, attended by diplomats from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and other nations.
Scammers are exploiting the surge in visa applications by posing as agents, selling fake appointments, and falsely guaranteeing approvals. Fraudsters often target last-minute applicants, charging fees for priority bookings that do not exist.
Kaushik Ghosh, head of VFS Global Australasia, warned travellers to apply in advance and only use the official www.vfsglobal.com website, as VFS does not work with third-party agents.
Embassy officials reinforced the warning, advising against trusting individuals who charge for appointments or claim to influence visa decisions.
Travellers should double-check their application details, as common errors like mismatched information or missing documents can lead to rejections.
