Bulgaria’s Ambassador to India Eleonora Dimitrova signed on behalf of the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs an agreement with the Indian outsourcing company VFS Global. According to the terms of the agreement, Global will open centers for the reception of visa applications for travels to Bulgaria in 16 Indian cities which would alleviate significantly the access to visa services of the Indian citizens wishing to visit Bulgaria. This step is expected to boost the number of trips to Bulgaria for business and tourism purposes. The first visa centers in the cities of New Delhi and Mumbai are expected to open by the end of November this year and the visa centers in the other 14 cities will open doors by the end of 2019.
