Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia Ashok Kantha said that from Aug 1, Grandlotus Travel Agencies Sdn Bhd would collect visa applications from those intending to visit India, and submit them to the high commission for vetting and affixing of visa stamps in the passports.
He said the company was chosen from 23 that had submitted bids for the outsourcing of visa applications.
“The high commission received 82,000 applications for visas last year, with a growth of between 8% to 10% in the last three years,” he said.
He added that Malaysia was the third country where the processing was outsourced, after the United States and Britain.
He was speaking to reporters after witnessing the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the high commission's First Secretary, Sudhir Kumar Mehrotra, and Grandlotus chairman K. Thangavelu here yesterday.
Grandlotus will set up processing centres here, and in Penang and Johor Baru.
