The British government has announced a special service for Nigerians which enables them get their UK visa on the same day of application.

British High Commissioner, Mr. Paul Arkwright disclosed this on Monday at the 40th anniversary of the Nigerian British Chamber of Commerce, NBCC, in Lagos.

Mr Arkwright while speaking at the event said that the British embassy has made provision for visa applicants in Nigeria to get their visa on the same day or within five days of application.

He noted that the embassy as part of its special services has reduced the maximum turnaround time for all classes of visa application to 15 days.

“We have introduced a same day visa service – at a cost – for visas in Nigeria.

“We have also introduced a service that means you get a visa within five days, at a lower cost than the same day process.

“Our turnaround time for all other visas is 15 days.

“The key thing, however, is that all visitors to the UK, whether they are from Nigeria or anywhere else, must respect the law and the length of time their visa says they can stay in the UK.

“In 2016, around 140,000 Nigerians applied for visas to the UK. Of those that applied for student visas, 90 percent were successful.

“For those that applied for other visas, around 70 percent were successful.

“There are as many as 250,000 Nigerian nationals or dual Nigerian-British nationals living in the UK at the moment.

“Some claim the total Nigerian diaspora in the UK is well over a million. We want Nigerians to come to the UK. They come to do business, to study, to see family and to invest in our economy.”

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. The UK is simply trying to hedge its bets.

Academics are already planning to leave, and students from the EU will look elsewhere. Their only other option now is to focus on non-EU countries to up their funding.

Then they have not offered anything. Rather they want to take.

I didn't want to sound bleak but how does giving me a Visa in one day help me? Why should I be in a hurry to go over there and spend my money?

Except there is a deadline to meet and FastTrack is required, it is a waste of money.

They need the money, lol. I know they are also making similar offers to the Indian government, they basically want to make it more appealing and easier for people who have the money (the fast track will be more expensive) to come over. They are just users as far as I am concerned, if brexit never happened, they wouldn't look at us twice.

Cunningly, they forgot to add the cost.

It's nearly 500K and no guarantee that you'll be issued a visa. Don't see how this is good news to Nigerians. Do they have such services in other African countries? Na only Nigerians go waste that kain money for " visa application"

Who goes to the UK these days?

they heard Buhari change his plan of coming back to UK,they now use this strategy to attract him......una no go seee him

WOW. That's like the amount that travel agents/racketeers charge for securing one a visa and they have a refund policy. Everybody just sees Nigeria as a cow that they need to milk and the owners of the cow aint doing nothing about this extortion from foreign interests.
