Visa processing speed: VFS vs Embassy

Upvote:2

If time is your top concern you would use the VFS at Paddington Station or the VFS at 66 Wilson Street. Although they will not deliver your application until close of business following your appointment you can pick up your passport at the VFS without having to queue at the Swiss Embassy.

Logistically, Paddington Station is better connected to the tube and 66 Wilson Street is a 10 minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, which connects all the major tube lines. The Swiss Embassy, on the other hand, is inside Marylebone and the nearest tube stop is Edgware Road. It's also a 10 minute walk, but as mentioned above you face queues.

In the absence of all other information, you're better off nearer to a major train station and have the opportunity to collect your passport on the same day (or sent by courier).
