BLS International Services, a tech-enabled services provider, has been awarded a five-year global contract by the Slovak Republic to establish and operate its Visa Application Centres (VACs) in more than 80 countries, the company announced on 18 November 2025. The contract will see BLS International set up and manage VACs across South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, enhancing the visa application process with improved infrastructure and technology.
"We are honored to receive this prestigious contract from the Slovak Republic," said BLS International, Joint Managing Director, Shikhar Aggarwal. "This milestone reflects our expanding global footprint and demonstrates the exceptional service quality, robust governance, advanced security standards, and operational excellence that define BLS International."
Reinforcing Global Position
This significant contract strengthens BLS International's position as a leading partner for government consular services and underscores its ongoing global expansion. The company, which already has a presence in over 70 countries, processes millions of applications annually. The new agreement with the Slovak government reinforces its focus on driving digital transformation in public services.
The company's strong operational performance is supported by its recent financial results. BLS International recently reported its highest-ever quarterly performance, with consolidated revenue for the second quarter of the 2026 financial year (Q2FY26) standing at Rs 736.6 crore, a increase of 48.8 per cent year-on-year. Net profit for the quarter reached Rs 185.7 crore, reflecting a growth of 27.4 per cent.
The key takeaways from the announcement are the substantial expansion of BLS International's global operations into over 80 new countries, the reaffirmation of its business model as a trusted government partner for visa and consular services, and the strong financial growth that underpins its capacity to secure and execute large-scale international contracts. |
