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.

You're concerned about authentication steps. Did the centre accept a notarised copy or insist on the original?

Which VFS office did you try, and did you use their kiosk option without passport stamp?

This extra passport verification requirement feels like added bureaucracy, but perhaps it addresses real security concerns we're not aware of yet.

Seems like some offices let people renew permits without authentication, so I'm not sure this requirement is actually enforced everywhere.

Make sure you schedule a visit to the embassy for passport authentication before booking at VFS; carry all original documents to avoid delays.
