So, only one form will need to be filled, with all the necessary information,&#8221; explained PS Volcere.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the digital shift will not affect immigration workers, who will now be able to do their work easier, as less time will be needed to manually input all this information into their systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/seychelles\">Seychelles<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Seychelles.
