VFS Global recently announced the launch of two new Visa Application Centres (VACs) for Vietnam in India. These new centres, located in Chennai and Hyderabad, will be operational from 20 March 2015, and will provide easy access to Indian applicants and travel agents from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Telangana applying for a visa to Vietnam.
Announcing this introduction of service with VFS Global, Ambassador Ton Sinh Thanh said, “Facilitation of visa application for Indian citizens, especially who are living far from Delhi, is one of our priorities for 2015. At the beginning of this year, we authorised a visa application centre in Kolkata and now the two visa application centres; one in Hyderabad and the other in Chennai. These visa application centres, however, do not replace the Embassy because all applications will continue to be processed and issued by our Embassy. These centres will save time and money for Indian citizens from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Telangana because they can apply for Vietnamese visa directly from Hyderabad or Chennai. In the same time, the Embassy has also reduced the time of processing and issuing visas. Altogether, these measures will certainly facilitate Indian travellers who want to come and visit our country.”
Vinay Malhotra, COO – South Asia, VFS Global added, “It is a privilege and honour for us at VFS Global to launch our service for Vietnam in India. VFS Global pioneered the service of visa process outsourcing and commit to delivering a seamless and professional service. The opening of the new facilities in these States extends the convenience of the visa application process to the travel trade and travellers in India. We will continue to work together to deliver a professional and well-appointed end-to-end service.”
