The British High Commission in Nigeria has said that with effect from Tuesday July 22, 2008, it has lifted the restrictions on its visa service.


The High Commission’s office in Abuja, through a press statement signed by Oladele Oladokun of its Public Affairs section said on Wednesday, that the resort to implementation of the restrictions on its service was due to unavoidable technical problems at the Deputy High Commission in Lagos.


The release stated that all categories of visa applications can now be submitted, adding that, the British High Commission had reiterated that its customer’s should know that it was still being forced to run a limited service for first time travellers to the UK.


Accordingly, it said that those who had not travelled to the UK previously should book an appointment to submit their application at its Commercial Partner's offices (VFS) in Abuja, Lagos, Ikeja or Ibadan respectively.
