- Visa Application Centre inaugurated in Kuwait City by E. Mr. Ole Emil Moesby, Ambassador of Denmark to the State of Kuwait
- New Centre opened in the State of Kuwait in light of growing number of visa applications to Denmark
Denmark, in partnership with VFS Global, the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for diplomatic missions worldwide, has announced the opening of its Visa Application Centre in Kuwait City, the State of Kuwait.
Following the launch of the new centre, which has started accepting visa applications for Denmark from the State of Kuwait, applicants will no longer need to visit the Embassy of Denmark. Instead, they can conveniently submit their visa applications with ease at the VFS Global centre in Kuwait City.
During the official inauguration of the Visa Application Centre in Kuwait on 31 January 2019, H.E. Mr. Ole Emil Moesby, Ambassador of Denmark to the State of Kuwait, said: “The Visa Application Centre in Kuwait City will facilitate much easier visa application procedures for anyone living in Kuwait who needs a Schengen visa to visit Denmark. Previously, applicants had to travel to Danish missions elsewhere in the region to apply for a visa, which made travel to Denmark somewhat cumbersome, expensive and time consuming. More recently, we’ve noticed that it is not just Denmark that tourists are looking to explore. There has also been a steady increase in tourists interested in visiting Iceland, which is another great travel destination within easy reach of Denmark. It is our aim to provide a hassle-free service to applicants, and with the launch of the new Visa Application Centre in Kuwait City, this is making the travel aspirations of tourists, business travellers, and anyone looking to visit family members in Denmark or Iceland, a reality.”
Commenting on the launch of the new Visa Application Centre, Mr. Vinay Malhotra, Regional Group COO – Middle East, South Asia & P.R. China, VFS Global, said: "Denmark is an attractive destination for tourists which has been illustrated through the dynamic growth in the number of people seeking to travel. As a hub for global trade and tourism, Denmark has many drawcards for tourists and business travellers alike and we are pleased to add this great location to our ever-growing list of destinations in the State of Kuwait. As a preferred outsourced visa-processing provider to governments across the world, we are proud to build on this legacy and will continue to provide convenient services, which open up more of the world to our valued customers.”
VFS Global has been associated with the Client Government of Denmark since 2008 and presently serves applicants through a vast network of 114 Visa Application Centres across 40 countries such as Australia, Canada, Ecuador, India, New Zealand, Russia and the United Arab Emirates, amongst others.
