Key Update for Algerian Travelers: Starting April 7, 2025, a major shift will occur in the management of Schengen visa applications for France in Algeria. Capago International, a private French company, will replace the current service providers, VFS Global and TLSContact.
This decision was confirmed on Tuesday, December 10, by a trusted source and first reported by the Casbah Tribune website. The transition marks the end of operations for VFS Global and TLSContact in Algeria.
Capago International to Launch Services in Algeria
Capago International, an independent French company, specializes in outsourcing administrative services, particularly visa application management. It serves as the exclusive representative for processing Schengen visa applications on behalf of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in multiple countries across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Capago first launched its services in South Africa in 2010 and has since expanded to countries such as Kuwait, Azerbaijan, Benin, Togo, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Sierra Leone. The company’s upcoming operations in Algeria, set to begin in April 2025, include recruitment efforts already underway in cities like Annaba and Constantine.
What to Expect from Capago Services:
• Simplified visa application procedures.
• Dedicated centers for French visa applications in
Algiers, Oran, Annaba, and Constantine.
• Comprehensive services, including appointment management, biometric data collection, file verification, and payment processing.
End of VFS Global and TLSContact in Algeria
With Capago taking over, the visa application centers currently operated by VFS Global in Algiers and TLSContact in Oran and Annaba will cease operations in April 2025. Capago International promises to streamline visa processing while offering tailor-made solutions that cater to Algeria’s unique administrative needs.
With over 15 years of expertise, Capago is committed to delivering innovation and operational excellence. The company’s stated goal is to simplify and secure the administrative processes involved in international travel while ensuring high-quality service for both applicants and government partners.
Why the Change Matters
This transition to Capago International reflects France’s commitment to enhancing the visa application experience for Algerian travelers.
