COVID-19: British High Commission Announces Definite Date Visa Application Centres Will Open In Nigeria

The British High Commission in Nigeria has revealed date visa applications centres in the country would open.

According to a report from PUNCH, the centres will be opened from July 28. The Commission noted that Nigerians hoping to visit the UK could do so once international flights resume.

The Federal Government had in March shut the country’s airspace to domestic and international flights as part of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

However, with the resumption of domestic flights two weeks ago, Nigerians are in high spirits, expecting the government to okay the restart of international flights.

The British High Commission in Abuja had in a statement said visa application centres which were initially suspended due to the pandemic would reopen “when it is safe to do”. It said:

But while giving an update on Monday, the Commission wrote via Twitter, “Update on visas. Thank you to everyone for your questions and patience. But remember application centres open from 28 July.”
