New UK Visa Centre Opens in Kumasi — Here’s What You Need to Know

Residents of Kumasi and the wider Ashanti Region now have reason to celebrate as UK visa services have officially come closer to home. Beginning 26th June 2025, applicants seeking UK visas will no longer need to endure long trips to Accra for their application processes.

In a significant move aimed at improving customer convenience and addressing rising demand, VFS Global, the official partner for UK visa services, has announced the opening of a brand-new UK Visa Application Centre in Kumasi.

New Location:

VFS Ghana Private Limited

Golden Bean Hotel – Kumasi

3rd Floor, No: 19 Harper Road

Nhyiaeso, Adum – Kumasi

This development is expected to greatly benefit students, business travelers, tourists, and families in the northern and middle belts of Ghana who have previously had to travel to the capital city for visa services.

According to an official statement published on 20th June 2025, VFS Global noted that the Kumasi centre is being launched to “enhance customer experience and cater to a growing demand from our customers.” The new facility promises to deliver the same world-class standards as the Accra centre, including biometric enrollment, document submission, and optional premium services.

Why This Matters:

Reduced travel time and cost for applicants in Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, and surrounding regions. Improved accessibility to UK visa services for students and professionals. Enhanced processing experience in a familiar local environment.

For full information on services, operational hours, and to book your appointment, applicants are encouraged to visit the official Visa Application page.

This is a major step in decentralizing visa services in Ghana and enhancing regional equity in access to international opportunities.
