Vinay Malhotra, COO, Middle East and South Asia, VFS Global said, “Cyprus is fast emerging as a popular destination of choice for leisure and business travellers from India, due to its abundant natural beauty and historical heritage. As the number of visitors to this beautiful Mediterranean nation increases, we are proud and committed to expand the network of Cyprus Visa Application Centres across the South Asia region as a whole, with more centres planned in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh in the coming months.”
H.E. Demetrios A. Theophylactou, High Commissioner of Cyprus to India at an inaugural event said, “It is a pleasure to inaugurate the Cyprus VAC, operated by VFS Global. The opening is quite timely, also due to a noticeable increase in visa related queries from Kerala. I do believe that this centre would further expand and enhance visa services and also promote people-to-people contacts, thus contributing to our bilateral relations.”
He further mentioned that Kerala is a prime destination with a large percentage of population working in foreign countries. This will help applicants who wish to visit Cyprus for any purpose, be it tourism business, study, or work. To make this thing work efficiently and issue visas timely, the centre would work closely with the Consular Department of the High Commission.
