We’ve seen AI transform the way we work, communicate, and create—tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have changed the game. But now, artificial intelligence is making waves in travel and making it easier too. VFS Global and Afari Travels are leveraging AI to simplify one of the most stressful parts of international travel: visa applications. With AI-powered assistants providing instant guidance, real-time updates, and 24/7 support, getting a visa is becoming faster and more efficient than ever.

VFS Global, a company that helps governments process visas, has introduced a smart AI chatbot to simplify UK visa applications in 141 countries. This new technology aims to make the process faster and easier for travelers by providing instant support and guidance. While the company has not publicly disclosed the complete list of these countries, it is known that the chatbot is accessible in nations such as Bangladesh, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria. This is great news for Nigerians! 

VFS Global’s AI chatbot, developed in Dubai, Mumbai, and Berlin, offers 24/7 real-time visa assistance through voice and text. It provides country-specific information, ensures data privacy, and delivers fair, accurate responses. It runs securely on VFS Global’s system, following strict privacy rules to protect user data. No personal information is stored, and the chatbot is designed to give fair and accurate answers. Operating securely, it continuously improves through user feedback, making the visa application process faster and more efficient.
