IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Government offices in countries throughout much of Europe, the Americas and other parts of the world that celebrate Easter holidays will close from Friday through Monday in observance of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This year, Orthodox Easter coincides with the Gregorian calendar and will be observed on the same dates.
What does the change mean? Applicants should expect a slowdown in processing during the holiday break and potential backlogs when offices reopen.
BAL Analysis: Applicants should check with their BAL professional for holiday dates of individual countries. Those seeking consular processing should also note that embassies and consulates may observe unique holiday schedules.
