Travellers to Italy from Jordan can now experience enhanced services while applying for Italy visas at new centre
Amman - Residents of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan can now apply for Italy visas and enrol for biometrics at a new visa application centre opened in the capital city of Amman. The new centre has been set up in the high-end Al Barakeh Mall on Said Al Mufti Street 30, P2 Floor, Amman, which is in close proximity to the main business district. Services at the centre commenced from 01 August 2016.
With Italy being a world-renowned travel destination and a popular holidaying choice with Jordanians, as well as one of the most important trade partners of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the added conveniences of the relocated centre will make applying for their visas even more straightforward and easy. The ample mall parking space and enhanced accessibility allows for a more hassle-free experience.
Speaking at the launch, the Italian Ambassador Giovanni Brauzzi said, "My staff and I are personally committed to ensure the most efficient handling of visa applications. With around six thousand applications per year, we are conscious of their positive impact on the development of trade and investments between Jordan and Italy and more generally on the development of people-to-people friendly relations. Now, with this new center, we have an important step towards a further improvement of our visa services and I am confident that our efforts will increase the efficiency and the satisfaction of the Jordanian travelers and of the business community".
Also present at the launch, Mr Srinarayan Sankaran, COO - Middle East, VFS Global, added, "Our relationship with the Government of Italy for nearly 12 years is reflective of the trust and confidence they have in the services we have had the privilege to provide over the years.
