The United Kingdom has announced the closure of visa application centres in Nigeria on Friday 24 February and Monday 27 February for the upcoming elections.
The High Commission made this known via its verified Instagram page on Tuesday.
The statement disclosed: “The Visa Application Centres in Abuja, lkeja and Victoria Island will be closed on Friday 24th February and Monday 27th February.
“No VAC appointments will be booked on these days and customers will not be able to access the VAC to collect documents/passports. Customers have the option to purchase the Keep my Passport and Courier return services in advance of the VAC closure, in order to retain their passport during the period of closure.
“UKVI will continue to make decisions on all visa applications. Priority Visa services remain available. Super Priority Visa services will be suspended on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd because the next working day opening is not until Tuesday 28th.
“Customers should not attend the VAC unless they have been contacted by TLS to do so. The British High Commission Offices are not involved in visa decision making and do not hold passports and so are unable to assist”.
