Cox & Kings Global Services (CKGS) on Monday announced the opening of Algeria Visa Application and Information Centers (AVAIC) at six different locations, including Mumbai.
The main centre in Mumbai is located at Dalamal Towers in Nariman Point. The other AVAICs are based in Pune, Ahmedabad, Goa, Indore and Chennai respectively.
The centers will cater to all categories of Visa such as tourist, business, work, family, cultural and press, accepting applications from states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.
With this move, CKGS will become the main service provider for Algeria Visa in West and South India.
The Mumbai office was inaugurated by Hamza Yahia-Cherif, the Ambassador of Algeria to India, in presence of senior CKGS officials.
"We are pleased to appoint CKGS as our representative to manage the Algeria Visa Application centre in India. We want to encourage more and more Indians to consider travelling to Algeria and at the same time provide a seamless experience in applying for visas. These centers will ensure that Indian travellers find a faster and reliable way to obtain visa to visit Algeria," said Hamza.
