The country is getting ready for a major sports meet Down Under where sixty six athletes from the home nation are scheduled to take part. However the Embassy concerned had got word that several athletes are waiting to jump the bandwagon and, what’s more, twenty of them have been refused visas. Ninety two countries are scheduled to take part in the event. At a similar event held in 2015, 25 athletes failed to return and so this time the Visa Officer concerned is keeping a tight check on those going for the event. The Visa Officer has also informed the officials concerned to report to the Embassy once the team returns.
