The British High Commission in Nigeria has said effort to reopen visa application for intending travellers to the United Kingdom is on.
In the wake of coronavirus pandemic, the high commission suspended services whilst a lockdown was imposed by the federal government to limit the spread of the virus.
In a statement on Thursday, the British High Commission disclosed that UK application centres are soon to be reopened in a phased manner globally.
The Commission noted that it is communicating with its partners to reopen visa application centres which were initially suspended.
The Commission also said centres will be reopened when at a time considered safe to do so.
The statement reads, “We know there are many Nigerian nationals hoping to travel to the UK when flights resume, both for employment and to see family members.
“UKVI are working closely with TSL contact, our commercial partner, to reopen visa application centres that were suspended due to COVID-19.
“UK visa application centres are reopening in phased manner globally when it is safe to do so and when we can operate an effective service.
“TSL contact are putting appropriate measures in place and working hard to reopen in Nigeria. We will share details of when VACs will reopen soon.”
