Post Offices to Provide Visa Related Services In Remote Areas - India Post Signs MOU with M/S VFS Global to this Effect

India Post has signed a Memorandumof Understanding (MOU) with M/s VFSGlobal to provide visa related services for different countries through Post Offices. Memorandum of Understanding between India Postand M/s VFS Global was signed here on 30.08.2011 in the presence of Secretary, Department of Posts and senior officers from Department of Posts and VFS Global. The MOU sets out broad understandings and intentions of both the parties to provide visa related services at places where they are not currently available.
Post Office counters will be used for fee collections, providing visa applications forms, dissemination of visa information, biometric enrollment and other visa applicationprocess related services. India Post and VFS are also planning to cooperate in utilizing India Post’s courier service, Speed Post for movements of passports to VFS offices and concerned embassies, andtheir delivery back to the applicants. Both the parties will also explore to provide any other service that India Post may want to provide through VFS global network on mutually accepted terms.
M/s VFS Global is in the business of visa application services and is working with 35 governments across the world with over 450 offices in 50 countries. India Post andVFS realize that there are many areasof mutual interest and synergy between India Post and VFS would benefit the public at large.
Currently visa related services are largely available in metros only and the people from smaller cities and rural areas have to travel long distances in order to avail these services. Lack of information is also amajor area of concern as this allows unscrupulous elements to cheat unsuspecting and vulnerable people. Engagement of India Post towards provision of visa related services is expected to address this situation to a large extent.
