United Kingdom Visas & Immigration, (UKVI), a division of the UK Home Office, responsible for deciding who can visit and stay within the UK; has awarded Sopra Steria a new contract to enable visa renewals for those individuals who are already in the UK.
BLS International will be supporting Sopra Steria and UKVI by establishing and delivering some of the key add value services under the contract. This is a significant milestone for BLS International which currently handles approximately 12 million visa applications annually across its global network and will now also assist in the processing of applications for permission to remain in the UK on behalf of the Home Office.
Shikhar Aggarwal, Joint MD, BLS International, commented “We are privileged to be part of this new partnership in the United Kingdom. It reinforces our Company’s position within the UK and significantly enhances our stature as a leading service partner to client Governments worldwide. We will deploy our world class solution to provide an innovative and convenient service to the UK Home Office and its applicants.”
