Visa application centres in Jaipur, Rajasthan

Before your appointment in Jaipur

1. 1Find your wing at World Trade Park: most desk records give D-Block on the seventh floor, while Poland’s and Denmark’s name the North Block, A-2 Tower.
2. 2For the UK, book a Tuesday or Thursday slot, the only two days the Jaipur desk opens, and allow for the extra ‘user pays’ fee VFS charges at this centre.
3. 3For France, complete the France-Visas online form before you book with VFS; for Greece, fill in GVCW’s online form and book on GVCW’s own appointment system.
4. 4Skip Mangalam Ambition Tower in C Scheme while Japan’s desk there stays closed, and book a Japan slot in New Delhi or Gurugram instead.
5. 5If your passport was issued in another state, read Poland’s rule first: its consulate is chosen by the passport’s place of issue or the address in your passport or Aadhaar card.
6. 6Order the flight reservation and hotel booking for the day of your slot, or the evening before if you drive in from Udaipur, Jodhpur or Bikaner, and check that every name matches the passport once it arrives.
7. 7Before booking South Africa, read VFS’s notice of 20 October 2026, which paused short-term applications in Jaipur until further notice.

Which desk at World Trade Park handles which country

VFS Global runs nearly all of its Jaipur business from the seventh floor of World Trade Park, on Jawahar Lal Nehru (JLN) Marg in Malviya Nagar, PIN 302017. Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Luxembourg, Malta, Estonia, Iceland, Bulgaria and Cyprus all give D-Block in their addresses. Poland’s record names the North Block, A-2 Tower, and Denmark’s puts the North Block, A-2 Tower and D-Block together, so read the wing printed on your own appointment letter before you take the lift.

The UK desk shares the building and the seventh floor, yet it opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. South Africa’s entry gives the seventh floor and D-Block on JLN Marg without naming the building at all. Greece is handled by Global Visa Center World (GVCW), which calls itself “the exclusive External Service Provider of the Greek Consular Authorities in India”. Its Jaipur counter is on the seventh floor, D Block, of World Trade Park, and its published address carries two PIN codes, 302017 and 302001, for the one building.

Getting to Malviya Nagar, and the Japan desk in C Scheme

World Trade Park is a large mall and office complex on JLN Marg in Malviya Nagar, in the south of Jaipur, and a well-known landmark in the city. Jaipur International Airport (JAI) at Sanganer is on the same southern side, which suits applicants who fly in on the morning of a slot. From Jaipur Junction railway station or the Sindhi Camp bus stand the trip is a cross-town ride, so leave time for traffic.

Japan breaks the one-building pattern. Its desk is listed at Mangalam Ambition Tower, 1st Floor, 106-114, Subhash Marg (Malan Ka Chauraha), C Scheme, Jaipur 302001, and VFS marks its Monday, Wednesday and Friday sessions as temporarily closed. Italy’s VFS text still holds a Manglam Ambition Tower address as well, but Italy lists no centre in Jaipur, so treat any Jaipur address you see for Italy as out of date.

Who applies in Jaipur, and which embassy decides

Jaipur is the visa-centre city for most of Rajasthan, India’s largest state by area, so an appointment can mean a long trip from Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Kota or Jaisalmer. Tourists bound for Europe, families visiting relatives abroad, students, and business visitors from the city’s gem, jewellery and textile trades all apply here. If you live in Alwar or Bhiwadi near the Haryana border, Gurugram’s Centrum Plaza in Sector 53 may be nearer for the countries with a desk there, among them the UK, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Japan.

Rajasthan sits inside the New Delhi jurisdiction of many missions. Italy’s embassy in New Delhi decides applications from Rajasthan residents, Spain’s embassy lists the state, and Hungary, Belgium, Poland, Japan and South Korea handle it from New Delhi too. Germany’s New Delhi embassy covers Rajasthan for national (D) visas, while every German Schengen file accepted in India goes to the consulate in Mumbai for a decision. The German mission adds that a Schengen appointment may be booked at any VFS centre in India, whatever your address.

Countries you cannot apply for in Jaipur, and where to go instead

Jaipur has no desk for Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Singapore, the UAE, South Korea or the US. Most of them mean New Delhi, where the desks are split across three buildings around Connaught Place.

• Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania and Croatia: VFS Global House, #27 K.G. Marg, Connaught Place.
• Canada, New Zealand, the UAE and South Korea: Shivaji Stadium Metro Station, Baba Kharak Singh Marg. Canada also has a centre in Chandigarh.
• Japan, while Jaipur is closed: the Shivaji Stadium centre in New Delhi or Centrum Plaza in Gurugram.
• Spain: BLS International at Dr Gopaldas Bhawan, Upper ground floor, 28 Barakhamba Road, New Delhi.
• United States: no Jaipur centre; the embassy in New Delhi is the nearest post, so read the biometrics address off the official US appointment system.
• Singapore: VFS lists only Chandigarh and Chennai; otherwise ICA points applicants to an authorised visa agent or a Singapore mission.
• Australia: India is not part of Australia’s biometrics programme, so there is no centre to visit.

Timing your flight reservation and hotel booking for a Jaipur appointment

UK applicants in Jaipur have only two days a week to aim at, so the slot date is fixed early. The reservation should not be. How long an unpaid hold survives is the airline’s call, and it varies from carrier to carrier. For a Thursday slot, order on Wednesday evening or first thing on Thursday, then read the names and dates as soon as the desk sends it.

Driving in from Udaipur, Jodhpur or Bikaner the day before? Place the order before you leave home and check it on your phone, while there is still time to fix a problem.

Where your checklist asks for proof of accommodation, a confirmed hotel booking gives the property, the dates and each guest’s name; the desk’s service fee does not pay for the stay. Keep the hotel nights inside your flight dates and make both agree with the travel dates on the form. Nobody can board a plane on a flight reservation; it shows the planned journey and nothing more.

Rules worth checking before a World Trade Park appointment

Desks on the same floor answer to different missions, and each brings conditions of its own.

• Switzerland: applications are “processed and decided by Embassy of Switzerland staff”, and the embassy expects at least six months of legal residence and work in India.
• Poland: Jaipur is one of the Polish embassy’s centres that accept both national and Schengen applications.
• Hungary: the place you have lived for the past six months sets the jurisdiction, and Rajasthan falls to the embassy in New Delhi.
• Germany: the Jaipur desk lists only the Schengen fee, so ask VFS before you book a national (D) visa appointment here.
• Greece: GVCW accepts an application up to six months before the travel date, once its online form is complete.
• Every country: an invented or edited ticket PDF is document fraud; a reservation actually held with the airline is the honest way to show a planned flight.
