Menahem Kanafi, the Israeli Consul General in Bangalore, said, “The Visa Application Service has come into force from July 01, 2014, from our new centre as we are fully committed to strengthen the relationship between Israel and India thus removing bureaucratic barriers between the two countries. We are partnering with IVS Processing Services Pvt Ltd. The opening of this Visa Application Centre will only strengthen our endeavors and will intensify people to contact through travel."
