10+ Years Inside: Systemic exploitation and artificial appointment scarcity

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good for learning how global operations run, but unfortunately, the corporate culture heavily prioritizes profit over ethics and practices favorism.

Cons

Having spent more than a decade within VFS, I can confirm that the ongoing public criticism regarding applicant exploitation is 100% accurate. The system is deliberately engineered to maximize premium service sales at the expense of regular applicants, especially in branches serving foreign ministries that do not strictly monitor daily operations. Standard appointments are routinely blocked or artificially restricted for days. This is done to create panic and force desperate applicants to opt for the expensive "VIP Walk-in" options. Even with strict embassies that cap their daily application numbers, local management manipulates the system. They lock out a portion of the regular slots and convert them into VIP appointments. This way, the embassy receives the exact agreed-upon total number of applicants without ever realizing that people were forced to pay double just to get through the door.
