UK set to resume Visa Processing in Nigeria in 2 weeks

UK Visa Application Centres (VACS) will resume services from July 28, 2020, the British High Commission in Nigeria has said.

It said that its centre in Abuja, and two centres in Lagos will reopen in two weeks, as part of the resumption of services by UK Visas and Immigration.⁣

“You must have an appointment to visit a VAC and will not be admitted without one,” the statement read.⁣

The statement revealed that appointment booking table has been opened already for applicants to submit new applications.⁣

The authorities said that applicants who visit the centres will be required to provide a body temperature reading, wear a mask, and respect social distancing guidelines.

“If you have already submitted a visa application and are awaiting a decision from UK Visas & Immigration, you will be contacted shortly by our staff regarding your application status and passport collection options,” the commission said.⁣

Applicants who choose courier service have been notified that the delivery of documents could take longer than usual due to the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.⁣

They have been urged to acquaint themselves with new rules that have been set for people entering the UK because of COVID-19.
