Indian nationals seeking to travel to Italy can now benefit from a new visa application center in New Delhi. Managed by VFS Global, this newly inaugurated center is set to facilitate the process for obtaining an Italian Schengen visa, offering streamlined services for travelers from India.
The inauguration event was marked by the presence of notable dignitaries, including the Ambassador of Italy, Antonio Bartoli, as well as representatives from India’s Ministry of External Affairs. Several consuls from Schengen Area Member States also attended the ceremony, highlighting the significance of this new facility in strengthening diplomatic and travel relations between India and Europe.
The Italian Schengen visa permits travel not only to Italy but also to other countries within the Schengen Zone, which includes 26 European nations. The establishment of this visa application center is expected to enhance the experience of Indian travelers by simplifying the application process, reducing waiting times, and ensuring greater accessibility for those wishing to visit Italy for tourism, business, or study purposes.

By partnering with the Italian government for visa facilitation, VFS Global continues to expand its global footprint and improve the efficiency of visa processing services for Indian nationals.
In addition to visa processing, the center offers premium services such as document scanning, doorstep delivery, and SMS updates to keep applicants informed throughout the process. The opening of this new center in New Delhi reflects Italy's commitment to strengthening ties with India, fostering tourism, business exchanges, and cultural relations between the two nations.
With this new development, Indian travelers now have an easier pathway to explore the rich heritage, culture, and opportunities that Italy has to offer.
