Hi family please I need your advice am supposed to leave Nigeria yesterday but with these sudden restriction of travel wasn't able so I like to know what to do especially since my visa is valid till February 2022 and what if the ban not removed till then. Can someone please advise if I am to mail the embassy so they know not traveling yet isn't my fault. Please I need your suggestions. Thanks

It depends on purpose of your trip. Let's say you are attending a conference next month in the UK. Then the visa will expire because the purpose of your trip is for the conference which you can't attend because of travel ban.

If you're financial bouyant, you can travel to any of the countries that is not on UK's red list, spend like 2weeks there then travel to UK from there. I had that's the newest option.

All the best!

Are flights banned patapata from Nigeria?

What I heard this morning on the news was that people flying in from Nigeria are expected to quarantine for 10 days in a Govt hotel before they are released.

The hotel is at the passenger's expense.

Okay edited to add:

UK and Irish citizens and residents arriving from Nigeria must isolate in a government-approved managed quarantine hotel facility for 10 days, and receive two negative PCR tests, as further precautionary action is taken against the Omicron variant.
