The Embassy has issued an urgent advisory to visa applicants, cautioning them against fraudulent agents claiming to offer assistance with visa submission or processing. In a statement released today, the Embassy clarified that it is not affiliated with any visa support agents and emphasized that while engaging an agent is legal, it is not mandatory, as applicants can submit their applications independently.
To ensure accurate and reliable information, the Embassy urged applicants to consult its official website or that of VFS Global, its authorized service provider. The advisory warned against individuals or entities promising work permits or visa documents in exchange for exorbitant fees, highlighting the risks of falling victim to scams.
The Embassy further cautioned that submitting fake or fraudulent documents will result in immediate visa refusal, with the applicant's information being recorded in its system for future reference. Authorities encourage vigilance to protect against visa-related fraud.
