Vfs Global Kolkata Visa Application Centre — Premium Lounge service sold without clear opt-in option VFS Kolkata

Address: VFS Global Services Pvt. Ltd, Germany Visa Application Centre 5th Floor, Rene Tower, Building No. 1842 Rajdanga Main Road
Website: visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/deu/kolkata

I would like to report a lack of transparency at the VFS Global Visa Application Centre in Kolkata regarding the Premium Lounge service.

Applicants are not clearly informed that the Premium Lounge is an optional value-added service. In some cases, it appears to be presented as mandatory or added without an explicit opt-in choice. There is no clear verbal confirmation that this service is voluntary before payment is processed.

As VFS operates on behalf of Schengen member state consulates (including Germany), all value-added services should be transparently communicated and strictly optional.

This practice may mislead applicants and result in unnecessary additional charges. I request that VFS ensure:

Clear disclosure that Premium Lounge is optional;

Explicit consent before adding any value-added service;

Staff training to avoid implying mandatory purchase.

This complaint is submitted to raise awareness and encourage transparent procedures.
