The British High Commission in Nigeria has announced the opening of a new temporary submission centre for UK visas in Enugu State, effective from 13 September 2023.
According to a statement by Atinuke Akande-Alegbe, Senior Communications & Public Diplomacy Officer of Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office/British High Commission, “this facility will operate out of the Omedel Luxury Hotel, 4/6 Link Road off Pascal and Jerk Bustop, Independence Layout, Enugu 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 temporary submission centre in Enugu opens as a Premium Location meaning it will cost NGN246,250.00, which includes a Premium Lounge appointment, courier return, SMS notifications, general customer support and guidance.
“Demand for visa services will 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.”
