The Embassy of Lithuania has started a visa application centre in Kathmandu starting from Monday.

Julius Pranevicius, Ambassador of Lithuania to India, inaugurated the new centre in Kathmandu in the presence of Amit Chuke, Country Manager- Nepal, VFS Global.

"The newly opened Visa Application Centre in Kathmandu is an important step in further developing relations between Nepal and Lithuania. This will not only facilitate the process but will also contribute to building stronger people-to-people contacts and strengthening our bilateral cooperation and exchanges in the fields of trade, culture, tourism, academia and many others. We are looking forward to extending our productive cooperation with VFS Global," Julius Pranevicius, Ambassador of Lithuania to India remarked.

The VFS Visa Center is located on the 3rd Floor of the Chhaya Devi Complex in Thamel of Kathmandu which will accept visa applications for short and long-term visas.

"Applicants submitting their documents through VFS Global will also have access to a range of optional services for a more convenient visa application journey, including form filling assistance, document checks, photocopy and photo booth services, SMS updates, among others.
