VFS Global Needs to Be Scrutinised by the Competition Regulator

VFS Global performs what used to be a sovereign function of consular, passport and visa services. The law gives it a de-facto monopoly, making it impossible for competition to come up.

Abstract

VFS Global performs what used to be a sovereign function of consular, passport and visa services. The law gives it a de-facto monopoly, making it impossible for competition to come up. Given this context, there's a strong case for the competition regulator to investigate the company's practices to see if the consumer is really the king here.
