DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – VFS Global has been awarded the Regional Contract to provide Germany visa services in the Asia Pacific region, by the Government of Germany’s Federal Foreign Office. As per this new contract, VFS Global will operate Germany Visa Application Centres in 36 new locations across 14 countries.
