Hey guys,

What is the process for bio metric appointments at VFS Colombo?

Do we have to pay passport courier charges at the counter on the same day?

How much is it?

And what is this premium service or something which everyone complaints about?

Hi there,

You have to book for Bio metrics online through the VFS booking system. Yes, you can pay at the counter and get the premium package but that is completely optional. The premium lounge is $52.65

Do I have to pay a courier fee or something, for them to send the PP to us (PPR step)?

Trust me , it is very much especially when you don't hear anything. As per my research Ghost updates mean nothing it's just a system upgrade.
