India will open a visa facilitation center in Mogadishu, eliminating the need for Somalis to travel to Nairobi or Addis Ababa for visa applications.
Arun Kumar Chatterjee, Secretary of India’s Consular, Passport, Visa and Overseas Indian Affairs (CPV & OIA) division, said the move will significantly ease access for Somali students and medical travelers.
“This step reflects India’s commitment to strengthening ties with Somalia and supporting people-to-people connections,” he added.
