As the world slowly recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries have begun carefully reopening their borders and easing travel restrictions. A number of Visa Application Centres (VACs) have now resumed operations to accommodate visa applicants for Schengen countries. Here’s a list of reopened VACs and the visas they are currently processing: 

• Germany

Germany’s visa application centre is located in Manila, and is currently accepting seafarer visa applications. 

• Netherlands

Netherlands’ visa application centre is located in Manila, and is currently accepting seafarer visa applications.
