Indian consulate in Australia opens Visa Services Centre

SYDNEY: The plush new India Passport and Visa Services Centre opened by the Indian consulate here on Thursday will provide welcome relief to those who have sweated in long queues to get an Indian passport, visa or Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card.

The burgeoning demand for Indian visas in Australia made it necessary for the High Commission and consulates to outsource the receipt and delivery of passports, visas and OCI cards to a private company, VFS Global, a subsidiary of the Kuoni Travel Group's India branch.
