The United Kingdom high commission in Nigeria is offering to
renew expired or about to expire 30-day visas for free.
In a statement on Thursday, the commission said the renewal
will be free till December 2020 and each will be valid for 90 days.
“As a result of the disruptions to travel caused by
COVID-19, we are experiencing high demand for replacement vignettes for 30-day
visas to travel to the UK for work, study or to join family,” the statement
read.
“If an individual’s 30-day visa to travel to the UK for
work, study or to join family has expired, or is about to expire, they can
request a replacement visa with revised validity dates free of charge until the
end of this year.
“This does not apply to other types of visas. This process
will be in place until the end of 2020. The replacement visa will be valid for
90 days.
“To request a replacement visa, individuals can arrange to
return their passport to their visa application centre in Nigeria without an
appointment.”
It also urged customers to be patient as there may be some
delays in normal services.
The commission announced, on July 9, that it would resume
visa application for intending travellers.
At the time, it said visa application centres will reopen in
a phased manner globally.
