Spain visa change operator in Russia. From December 17, official middleman will be the company BLS International Services Ltd which is also engaged in issue of visas to India. Tour operators ambiguously reacted to the news. They are confused by the lack of a new operator's experience with the Schengen visa and biometric data. In addition, BLS does not have its visa centers in the regions. Recall that the VFS Global through its own centers to issue visas to Spain in 28 cities of the Russian Federation, informs a portal Noticia.ru citing data from the Consulate General of Spain in Moscow.
New Moscow visa application centre of Spain is located near metro Paveletskaya address: Letnikovskaya str., 11/10, p. 1. The operator is now recruiting new employees in Moscow and in St. Petersburg. How will be the visa in other cities of Russia, not yet reported.
The Association of tour operators of Russia (ATOR) reported that representatives of the sector cautious about changing the operator. "Change the partner visa in any way affect the process. Including the lack of VTS BLS in the regions. The main question is whether the BLS to provide the proper level compared to VFS," said to "Vestnik ATOR" in one of the major travel companies. "The process of issuing visas for the new year period, the change of VC will not be affected, because we have all the documents to these races already delivered. The development of the situation – we are waiting for further clarification from the Consulate," – said the press service of the tour operator. "During the Christmas holidays the direction Spain is not massive, but popular with Russians for a sightseeing holiday. Well, the change of operator was not in high season. However, the decision to change it before the peak holiday dates, too, from our perspective, a very strange and ill-considered", – commented on the situation at the visa section of another tour operator specializing in tours to Europe. "Let's see how to cope with the new task of the BLS, but for now everything is very vague. The issue with the EC with the regions remains open," the company said.
