Personal Information:
For the sole purpose of scheduling appointment TT Services will collect Personal Information from the applicant. Do not include any personal information other than what is required by the appointment scheduling system in emails, webchat, SMS or other non-secure electronic communications. A consent form in this regard will be required from the applicant.
Important: Do not book multiple appointments for biometric collection in the same VAC or at other locations within the same country. The VAC conducts frequent reviews and if it identifies that the candidate has more than one biometric appointment, VAC will contact you by email advising to choose which appointment you want to keep and cancel the others appointments within 72 hours. If the above procedure is not observed, VAC will automatically choose the closest scheduling date and cancel the others.
Note: Booking of appointments for enrolling your biometrics at the VAC is absolutely free of cost. No payment should be made to outside parties for the booking of your appointment.
