Citizens and expatriate residents of Qatar can now apply for visas to Ukraine at the new Visa Application Centre jointly launched by the Embassy of Ukraine in Qatar and VFS Global, the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide.
With the launch of the centre, applicants no longer need to visit the embassy, except for additional interviews as per request of the Consul in each personal case. Instead, they can now submit their visa applications at the VFS Global centre in Doha.
The Visa Application Centre provides outbound travellers from Qatar a very convenient visa application platform, ensuring enhanced quality of services and seamless procedures.
The Visa Centre will only provide applicants with pre and post-decision making services. However, the decisions on visa issues will continue to be carried out only by the Ukrainian diplomatic mission.
During the official inauguration of the Visa Application Centre, HE Vasyl Bodnar, Charge d’Affairs of Ukraine in Qatar, said, “We are pleased to partner with the VFS Global and accelerate the journey towards advancement of travel between Ukraine and Qatar. Our collaboration is also part of a more global plan to promote Ukraine as an upcoming destination for tourism and business. “The launch of the Visa Application Centre comes in line with the efforts of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to modernise existing visa procedures according to the best world standards and is a step forward in Ukraine’s goal to serve applicants more efficiently.”
VFS Global has been associated with the Client Government of Ukraine since 2017 and presently serves applicants through a network of 57 Visa Application Centres across 34 countries.
Commenting on the new centre, Vinay Malhotra, regional group COO for Middle East, South Asia & China, VFS Global, said: “Today’s event reflects the Ukraine government’s faith in our abilities and our commitment to providing unparalleled quality of services to visa applicants in Qatar. The new Visa Application Centre is now open in the context of promoting tourism to Ukraine and it is a testament to the keenness of VFS Global to strengthen ties with government entities worldwide.”
