Don’t Visit VFS for Permit Renewal Without Passport Authentication

Here’s what you need to know before you head to VFS for your permit renewal. A new requirement now demands that you have your international passport verified and authenticated first. I ran into this issue myself recently. If you don’t get the authentication done in advance, they’ll likely turn you away at the submission desk. It’s no longer enough to bring copies—you need the official stamp or seal beforehand. If you’re wondering where to get the authentication or how long it will take, let me know. I’m happy to share the service I used and my experience to save you time and extra trips.
