The center is located at the Schengen Visa Application Center, Office @ 1st floor, Dove Plaza (Hyper Panda), Omm Al Hamam Street, Omm Al Hamam, Riyadh. Services at this location commenced on last Nov. 4. Another Czech Republic visa application center is scheduled to be launched on Nov. 18 in Jeddah for greater convenience for applicants in Saudi Arabia. This centrer will be located at TasHeel Commercial Plaza, Ground Floor – Suwaid Bin Sakher Street, off Jundub Bin Kaab Street (off Prince Sultan Street), Al Mohammadiyah District 1, Jeddah. Speaking about the launch, Jiri Slavik, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said "opening of Czech Visa Centers in Riyadh and Jeddah reflects the growing bilateral relations between the Czech Republic and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and comes in the year when the two countries celebrate 20 years of diplomatic ties. By visa outsourcing the Czech Republic aims at becoming more accessible to all applicants, including those traveling to visit our spas, be it for medical treatment or wellness stays only, to experience the atmosphere of our beautiful cities, castles and palaces, to play golf or to learn filming in a summer school. And of course, we believe that better accessibility of visa centers will also please future businessmen and investors interested in the numerous opportunities the strategically located Czech Republic has to offer. We are convinced that VFS Global, one of the most experienced and professional companies in the visa field, will prove itself our reliable partner." Ajit Alexander, COO – Middle East and North Africa, VFS Global, added "we are committed to streamlining the visa application process for travelers and providing best-in-class services for visitors to our centers. We are privileged to partner with the Embassy of the Czech Republic in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and are confident our services will enhance the overall experience for applicants."
