British High Commission Suspend Visitor Visa Application From Countries Placed on Red List

The British High Commission says it has suspended visitor visa applications from all red list countries, including Nigeria.

This was announced in a statement issued hours after United Kingdom added Nigeria to its travel red list of concerns over the Omicron variant.

The statement noted that the suspension of processing visitor visa applications will only be lifted when the travel ban placed on the country is removed.

It added that application of those who applied for a visit visa in a red list country and met the UK Immigration Rules would be paused.
