The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation
(MAEUEC) of Spain has awarded BLS International the global contract for visa application outsourcing for the second time in a row.
The contract covers Europe, the Americas, Latin America, the CIS, Africa, the Middle East, and APAC, amongst other regions.
BLS International has been serving the Spanish government since2016 and currently operates 122 visa application centers (VACs) in 40 countries.
This is a very significant win for BLS International, which handles approximately 2 million Spanish visa applications annually and is expected to increase further. The category of national visas is also
being outsourced for the first time, which will lead to a further increase in volumes and opening of offices in new geographies.
As a part of the contract, BLS will also be offering various value-added
services (VAS) like SMS, courier services, mobile biometrics, premium lounge, etc.
