Britain opens temporary visa submission centre in Enugu

The British High Commission in Nigeria now has a new temporary submission centre for United Kingdom visas in Enugu State.

In a notice on Monday, the Commission said the centre is located at the Omedel Luxury Hotel, 4/6 link road off Pascal and Jerk bus stop, Independence Layout, Enugu.

The centre will be operational on September 13 and will “shortly offer a twice-a-week service”.

“The appointment system allows an applicant to select Enugu as their application location when applying for a UK Visa. This is in addition to current locations in Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt,” the commission said.

“The temporary submission centre in Enugu opens as a Premium Location, meaning it will cost NGN 246,250.00, which includes a Premium Lounge appointment, courier return, SMS notifications, general customer support and guidance.”

The commission added that demand for visa services would be carefully monitored and service reviewed/expanded should there be sufficient volumes.

“TLS will trial this location for at least 3 months to assess uptake of the service and enable decisions on continuation,” the commission added.

The UK announced in August, that it has opened a visa application centre in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital.

In Rivers state, the new visa centre is located at Présidential hôtel, 5141 Aba Road, Port Harcourt.
