The British High Commission in Nigeria has announced the opening of a new temporary submission centre for UK visas in Enugu State.
The new visa office which will open on September 13 will operate out of the Omedel Luxury Hotel, 4/6 Link Road off Pascal and Jerk Bustop, Independence Layout, Enugu.
This was disclosed by the UK diplomatic office in a statement issued on Monday.
The emergence of the temporary outlet is to cater for the growing demand for visas in the south-eastern region and to offer convenience for people who would have otherwise travelled long distances for their applications.
This Enugu centre is an added one to erstwhile centres in Abuja, Lagos and Port-harcout and its a welcomed and stragetic move by the commission.
The facility is expected to offer premium services at a cost of #246,250 twice a week.
According to a statement by the commission, “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 three months to assess uptake of the service and enable decisions on continuation,” the commission added.
