The United Kingdom has resumed work and study visa applications processing in Nigeria.
This was contained in a post by UKinNigeria on its social media handles on Wednesday.
In the post, Nigerians were urged to proceed to the UK visa application centres for the Priority Visa Services.
“From January 24, TLS will resume offering some Priority Visa (PV) Services in our Nigerian visa application centres. PV services will only be available to customers applying at VACs in Nigeria in work and study routes. These services will only be available via the TLS website and can be purchased when making a VAC appointment,” the post read.
The British High Commission had on December 6, 2021, suspended visa applications from red list countries, including Nigeria.
“To support the UK Government’s aim to protect public health from COVID-19 and associated variants of concern, UK Visas & Immigration will pause making decisions on visitor visa applications in all red list countries, including Nigeria, until travel restrictions are lifted,” the high commission had said while suspending visa applications in Nigeria.
As of June 2021, the United Kingdom announced that at least 20,427 Nigerians are studying in the UK.
