The program is intended for people who were unable to leave the nation because of interruptions in regional transit. In order to ensure that impacted individuals can get clear and consistent assistance, authorities have streamlined communication by sending all visa-related inquiries to this single contact point.
The helpline offers details on current relief efforts, such as visa extensions and exit protocols implemented to improve the circumstances of trapped travelers.
