Abstract: By employing SKA-Low and SKA-Mid, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is set to provide revolutionary observations with milliarcsecond resolution and greatly enhanced image sensitivities. SKA-VLBI observations allow us to gain deep understanding in multiple astrophysical areas such as AGN, cosmology, and transients. Additionally, SKA-VLBI enables unmatched astrometric observations, including mapping the spiral structure of our Galaxy. Furthermore, the presentation addresses possible operational modes and the available stations for SKA-VLBI observations.
