BLS International Expands Digital Consular Solutions, Ventures into Virtual Consular Assistance (VCA) for Brazil Embassy
USA, 16 April 2026: BLS International, a trusted global AI & tech-enabled services partner to governments and diplomatic missions worldwide, has ventured into the Virtual Consular Assistance (VCA) space, providing remote application support services for the Embassy of Brazil as a pilot program. This initiative reinforces the organization’s commitment to innovation and an enhanced applicant experience. VCA is currently only available to US applicants at www.vca.blsinternational.com, enabling them to receive visa application assistance from anywhere globally.
Mr. Shikhar Aggarwal, Joint Managing Director at BLS International, said, “As visa processes become increasingly complex and applicants seek more accessible, reliable, and personalized support, the need for a digital-first solution has become the need of the hour. BLS International has, therefore, deployed a dedicated Virtual Consular Assistance (VCA) platform for Brazil, enabling seamless interaction between applicants and trained visa officers. The platform is designed to function as an intermediary layer of support, offering structured guidance throughout the visa application process for added convenience.”
Across many countries, e-visa application processes require close adherence to prescribed form details, photograph specifications, and document formatting standards. Through its one-on-one Virtual Consular Assistance offering, BLS International will provide applicants with real-time guidance to help ensure submissions are complete and aligned with requirements from the outset, supporting a smoother and more efficient application experience.
For mail-in or in-person consular applications, the service provides expert guidance across multiple visa categories, including VIVIS (Visitor Visa), VITEM XV (Digital Nomad Visa), VITEM IV (Student / Internship Visa), and VITEM XVI (Retirement Visa / Pensioners).
Applicants can opt for a range of optional value-added services, including form-filling assistance, travel insurance booking support, and document resizing services, for an additional fee. Applicants who require further guidance for complex applications may also book extended virtual sessions at an additional cost.
