VFS services: Many in Australia's Indian community seek clarity on passport and visa access
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Delhi High Court's ruling on passport and visa services for the Indian community in Australia.
The Delhi High Court has cancelled the government's tender for outsourcing passport, visa and consular services in Australia and three other countries. The court ordered a fresh bidding process, finding that the technical evaluation lacked transparency and consistency. The ruling has left many members of the Indian community awaiting clear guidance on when passport, visa and consular services will resume. In this podcast, we speak with members of the Indian diaspora and legal expert Molina Asthana to understand the implications of the latest court ruling and what it means for the future of these services.
