VFS Global has rolled out the Czech Republic Visa Application Centre in Kathmandu to better serve the residents of Nepal wishing to travel to the Central European country. Prior to this launch, applicants had to travel to New Delhi, India, to submit their Czech Republic visa applications.
The facility was formally inaugurated on April 5 by Milan Hovorka, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to India and Vishnu Agarwal, Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Kathmandu, Nepal.
With the addition of the Czech Republic Visa Application Centre, the Visa Application Centre in Kathmandu now serves 20 client governments. VFS Global has been associated with the government of the Czech Republic since 2008, with operations in 25 countries through over 100 Visa Application Centres worldwide.
Milan Hovorka, Ambassador of Czech Republic to India, said, “The decision to open the VFS Global centre in Kathmandu has been taken in order to ensure a bigger comfort for Nepalese visa applicants who had to travel all the way to the Embassy in Delhi to lodge their visa application before. At the same time, I would like to emphasise the necessity of the cooperation and request the applicants to respect all the requirements, so that a smooth and timely visa process can be reached.”
