New Visa Desk in Guwahati Will Streamline Travel for Northeast Residents

Guwahati, the commercial heart of the Northeast, will soon house a modern visa‑application desk that promises faster processing times for those seeking to visit Europe, the Middle East and East Asia. Launched under the aegis of the Assam government, the centre will handle Schengen visas and single‑entry permits for a range of countries. By eliminating the need to travel to metros such as Delhi or Kolkata, the initiative is expected to cut travel costs and reduce waiting periods. The service will operate on an appointment‑based system, with detailed guidelines on required documents and service charges to be released by the authorised provider.
