New Delhi : BSE and NSE listed ,BLS International, a trusted global tech-enabled services partner for governments and citizens, announced today that it has resumed operations of its Spain Visa Application Centres (VACs) in Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region including Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. In Russia, BLS has been processing Indian visa applications since June 2016 while in March ‘20, the company was also mandated to process Portugal visa applications in Russia with 22 centres across the region.

In the current scenario, BLS has taken all the necessary precautions to minimise physical interaction at the VACs and applicants can avail services such as Premium lounge, Mobile Biometric, Primetime Submission & Courier service as per their convenience.In Premium Lounge, only single applicant is entertained at one point of time; while Mobile Biometric Service is a prime example of a convenient online application procedure wherein functionality with portability and ease are combined, it enables customers to complete their biometrics and visa application process at the comfort of their respective homes / offices; while in Primetime Submission, a separate counter at the centre accepts application during working hours to avoid the queues, which eliminates unnecessary waiting time and contact with other individuals while queueing up for application submission.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Shikhar Aggarwal, Joint Managing Director, BLS International said, “We are committed to offer easier, faster and seamless visa application process for the ease of applicants. All our centres are centrally located and have well trained staff while there is a dedicated helpline and e-mail support services to resolve applicants’ queries. Having partnered with Spanish MOFA globally, we are pleased to resume operations in the CIS region along with strict health & safety measures and Covid protocols to facilitate safe travel to Spain.”
