Doha: Indian Embassy in Qatar is reopening Indian Cultural Centre (ICC) premises for receiving requests for consular services.
Before the Covid-19 restrictions were imposed ICC used to receive applications for most of the services offered by the embassy by charging a nominal fee for their services. This was very helpful to the Indian expats as it used to operate in the evenings and on weekends.
“In view of the substantial unaddressed demand for consular services, we are re-opening submissions at ICC premises with effect from 23 June, but only for limited numbers on the basis of appointments. Please contact ICC for further details,” the embassy tweeted.
