RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: The Embassy of the Republic of Sudan in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today announced the opening of its first ever visa application centre in the world in Riyadh in partnership with VFS Global, the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for diplomatic missions worldwide.

In a joint statement, the Embassy further said that it would not be accepting visa application submissions at its offices anymore and applicants only need to approach VFS Global to process visas to Sudan.

Apart from visa processing, VFS Global will also offer legalisation services at the Sudan visa application centre.

Opening the new visa application centre officially, the Ambassador of the Republic of Sudan to Saudi Arabia, HE Abdulbasit Badawi Al-Sanousi said: “This is the first time ever Sudan has joined hands with a third party to outsource visa processing. Indeed, we are glad to partner with VFS Global acclaimed for its outsourced visa processing expertise across the world. For us, Riyadh visa application centre is the first and we would look forward to open many more such centres across the world.”

The VFS Global Sudan visa application centre in Riyadh is located on the 4th Floor, Al Yamama Centre, Al Murabia, King Fahad Road, Amr Ibn Al As Street.
