State Minister Eberhard Sinner, head of the Bavarian State Chancellery, visited the new visa section at the Munich Consulate for an overview of the visa and passport process and border security procedures. Following a $1.2 million building project, the visa section began issuing visas in July. Since then, it has processed more than 4,000 visa applications for individuals from more than 100 countries residing here in Bavaria. Minister Sinner welcomed the service-oriented, high-tech procedures in place that have made travel to the United States more convenient for those requiring visas.
