Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched twenty new additional passport application centers in a move to enable Liberians living abroad to access Liberian passports without hassle.<\/p>\n

According to Minister Dee-Maxwell Kemayah, the new centers are intended to make \u201csure passports are brought to the doorstep of every Liberian.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government is partnering with VFS Global, the world\u2019s largest visa outsourcing and technology service specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide to run these newly opened passport application centers.<\/p>\n

VFS Global has its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and Dubai, UAE and is widely recognized by over 140 governments around the world. It is a company that has been contracted and subcontracted by many European governments to handle visa and passport services on behalf of those governments.<\/p>\n

The new centers for Liberia were simultaneously launched in USA, Atlanta and Houston; Canada, Toronto, Vancouver, Ontario and Edmonton; South America Brazil; Europe, Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, France and Italy; Asia, South Korea and Japan; Africa, Senegal and Egypt; Middle East United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Kemayah added that new centers would increase revenue for the government, while ensuring that passport application and processing is brought to the doorstep of every Liberia national who needs a passport to travel or otherwise.<\/p>\n

On January 18, Kemayah launched six centers in Chicago and Los Angeles in the United States; Nairobi, Kenya; Melbourne, Australia and New Delhi, India.<\/p>\n

As part of the reforms, Kemayah disclosed that a new honorary consulate generals regulations was launched, noting that all current honorary consulate generals would relinquish their positions and reapply under the new requirements being set by the Ministry.<\/p>\n
