New Visa Application Centres Announced By UK Embassy In Nigeria

The UK Embassy in Nigeria announced on Tuesday that its visa application centres are undergoing a change, with a new supplier taking over the management.

This change may impact some applicants, causing alterations in the locations where documents are submitted and collected.

The Embassy shared the news on its X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that those affected would be contacted by email with detailed instructions.

“The supplier of our visa application centres in Nigeria is changing. During this transition, some customers may submit and collect their documents from different locations. You will be contacted via email if this affects you,” the statement read.

The visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos are still open and operational, but some applicants may be required to visit alternative locations during the transition.

New UK Visa Centres in Nigeria:

The UK Visa Application Centres will now be available in Abuja and Lagos at the following addresses:

• Abuja: Mezzanine Floor, Tower C, Churchgate Plaza, Plot 473, Cadastral Zone AO, Constitution Avenue, Central Business District.
• Lagos (Ikeja): 2nd Floor, Ile Oja Opebi Mall, Opebi Link Road.
• Lagos (Victoria Island): 2nd Floor, Churchgate Plaza Tower 2, PC 31 Churchgate St.

These centres will handle all UK visa applications in the country, starting from the official transition date.

Applicants are advised to book their appointments before visiting these centres.

For more information, the Embassy encouraged people to check the official visa application website.

KanyiDaily recalls that in 2020, the British High Commission in Nigeria announced that it would replace expired 30-day visas for free as it reopens its Visa Application Centres (VAC).
