It was back in April 2025 when VFS Global opened the doors to the largest Visa Application Centre in the world. Yes, and this opening happened in Dubai’s Wafi City. And this month, the premises have been awarded the LEED v4 Interior Design and Construction (ID+C) Gold Certification. This is a globally recognised benchmark for sustainable buildings and has been developed by the US Green Building Council. Here’s all you need to know about this fantastic development.

What Is LEED Certification?
The next question that arises is, what is LEED? Well, this is the most widely used green building rating system. It emphasises the environmentally responsible construction and interior fit-out. The process evaluates the projects on a credit-based system, and after this, points are awarded for implementing energy-efficient, resource-conscious, and sustainable design strategies.
Truly an incredible development, this motivates the VFS to ensure that their flagship Wafi City centre sets the standard for sustainable operations, which would drive positive impact across the global network.
