VFS Global opened a new visa application centre in Guwahati at the ISBT, Khanapara/Inter-State Bus Terminal complex.
The centre handles visa applications for 14 countries, with reporting describing service for applicants across Northeast India.
The inauguration was attended by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, ministers Ajanta Neog and Charan Boro, and VFS Global COO Yummi Talwar.
Reporting says the facility is meant to reduce travel and logistical burdens for residents of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and Sikkim.
One report says the centre only provides administrative processing and that final visa decisions remain with the respective country authorities.
Another report notes earlier VFS visa collection and premium services had already existed in Guwahati, while saying the new centre broadens access to visa services.

Some details remain framed differently across the reporting, including whether the centre is best described as the first such facility in the city or as an expansion on earlier VFS services. One report also says the centre does not decide visa outcomes, and that claim remains tied to administrative processing rather than any guarantee of faster approvals.
