The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Gambians Abroad has announced that Spain’s Consulate in Dakar, Senegal, has introduced a Visa Collection Center in The Gambia to facilitate Schengen visa applications for tourists.

“This development will allow Gambians applying for a Schengen Visitor’s Visa to submit their applications in Banjul, instead of having to travel to Dakar,” the ministry stated.

The service will be provided by BLS International, located in Manjai, and will handle up to 100 appointments each month through their website: https://senegal.blsspainvisa.com.

In its statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed gratitude to the Kingdom of Spain, particularly the Spanish Missions in Dakar and Banjul, for their support and cooperation, while extending advance wishes for a Happy National Day to Spain.
