The United Kingdom Embassy in Nigeria has announced a change in the management of its visa application centres, with a new service provider set to take over operations. The transition, disclosed on Tuesday, may result in some applicants having to submit or collect their documents from new locations.
In a statement released via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Embassy assured affected applicants that they would receive direct communication via 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.
### **Key Centres Remain Operational**
Despite the transition, the visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos remain operational and will continue facilitating visa processes. Applicants are reminded to book appointments before visiting these centres to ensure a smooth process.
The Embassy has encouraged applicants to check the official visa application website for additional updates or information regarding the changes.
### **Implications for Applicants**
The changes in management could lead to minor adjustments in procedures, including new submission or collection points. The Embassy has reassured applicants that efforts are being made to minimize disruptions during the transition.
For further inquiries, the public is advised to contact the UK visa application service through its official channels.
