To cater to the rising travel to the Czech Republic from Botswana, VFS Global launched a new Czech Republic Visa Application Centre in Gaborone. The centre was inaugurated by Ms Anna Sykova, Consul, Embassy of the Czech Republic in Pretoria, in a ceremony held on 15 March 2019. The centre greatly benefits citizens of Botswana who, prior to this, had to travel to Pretoria, South Africa to apply for a Czech Republic visa. This is the first Schengen client government being served by VFS Global in Botswana.
“ The decision to open the VFS Global centres in Kathmandu and Thimpu has been taken in order to ensure a bigger comfort for visa applicants who had to travel all the way to the Embassy in Delhi to lodge their visa application before. At the same time, I would like to emphasise the necessity of the cooperation and request the applicants to respect all the requirements, so that a smooth and timely visa process can be reached. „
