Bangalore, May 26 People travelling to Japan from Karnataka can now get their visa issued by the Japanese Consulate here, which opened its office in the city last year. Earlier, visa applicants had to travel to Chennai.

Chennai Consulate will now cater to Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.

The Bangalore Consulate office was opened on January 1, 2008 to provide consular services to the increasing Japanese community in the city.

According to an Indo-Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry release, the Consulate of Japan has also moved from its temporary office on M.G. Road to its newly constructed office in Prestige Nebula, Cubbon Road.

Karnataka, particularly Bangalore, is the second biggest industrial centre for Japanese companies after the National Capital Region. Karnataka also has been canvassing for expansion of Japanese investment, while Japanese organisations are keen on developing an industrial corridor between Chennai and Bangalore.
