The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expanded VFS visa services yesterday to include Schengen visas for France, Spain, and Portugal. This expansion results from the Ministry’s successful discussions with Schengen zone countries.
Currently, applicants from the Maldives can apply for visas from Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Luxembourg, and Slovenia within the Schengen area. Switzerland was formally included in the Male’ Visa Centre on August 21, 2023.
The Foreign Ministry inaugurated the VFS on March 1, 2020, to streamline visa processes for Maldivians travelling to European countries. The capital’s Global Joint Schengen Visa Application Centre, VFS Malé, facilitates Schengen visa applications for Maldivian citizens.
