Is this the old TLScontact centre?
VFS Global replaced TLScontact for UK visa application centres in South Africa from 22 October 2024. Use the current VFS UK mission details rather than an old TLS address or phone number.
Contact and decision updates
Open the official Mbombela / Nelspruit UK centre page for current notices. For booking/service help, use official VFS contact guidance. A centre cannot provide a running UKVI decision update; read the tracking guide if you are waiting.
