From Monday 26 October 2009, the UK Visa Application Centre (VAC) in South Mumbai run by Visa Facilitation Services (VFS) will move from Stadium House at Churchgate to Apsara Complex at Dr. Dadasaheb Bhadkamkar Marg, Grant Road East. The Apsara Complex is at the location of the old landmark Apsara Cinema on Grant Road. There will be no change to the VFS Customer Help Line telephone number 080 4008 4008.

To facilitate the move the South Mumbai UK VAC will be closed on Thursday 22 October and Friday 23 October. No visa applications will be accepted at South Mumbai on these two dates. However, arrangements will be made at Churchgate on these dates to return the passports of those customers who had already applied at Stadium House.  
The North Mumbai UK VAC in Vile Parle will continue to function. UK visa customers from South Mumbai are welcome to use the North Mumbai VAC at National House,13/14/15 Sahar Road, Vile Parle (East) on 22 and 23 October, or plan their applications to take into account that there will be no application facility in South Mumbai on those two dates.  

Rachel De Souza, Operations Manager, Visa Services, British Deputy High Commission Mumbai said: "The new VAC at South Mumbai will provide the same high standard of facilities and services to our visa customers, with additional in-house refreshment facilities. We are working hard to ensure minimal disruption of services during the move."
