The UK has launched Super Priority Visa Service in Nigeria to allow customers to process their applications within 24 hours.
The British High Commission, on its
website, said the new service would meet the needs of those who require
urgent service to travel.
The British High Commissioner, Paul
Arkwright, expressed delight over the introduction of the Super Priority
Visa service in Nigeria.
Arkwright said, “I am pleased to see the Super Priority Visa service being launched in Nigeria.
“This comes with an additional cost but
is designed to give greater flexibility to our customers and underlines
our strong commitment to make improvements to the visa services we
offer.
“We expect this new service to be
particularly useful for business. We understand that business
opportunities and urgent requirements can arise at very short notice.
“We recognise this and want to facilitate such travel to the UK with this new super-fast service.”
The High Commission said the
introduction of the service allowed customers greater flexibility to
choose from a number of visa products to meet their needs.
“It is offered alongside our current Priority Visa (front of queue processing five to seven-day) and standard (15-day) services.
“The UK is the only European country to offer a visa decision in 24 hours.
“The Super Priority Visa service is
aimed largely at key business customers and those needing to travel
urgently by providing a visa decision for collection at the Visa
Application Centre the working day following submission.”
It said the service costs 750 Pounds in
addition to the visa fee and would be available to eligible customers
applying in the Abuja and Lagos Visa Application Centres.
The High Commission said those applying
in the “Visitors” or “Points Based System Tier 4” are eligible to use
the Super Priority Service.
It said appointments are available from
Mondays to Thursday from 8.30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and Fridays from 8.30 a.m.
to 9 a.m. at the Abuja and Lagos centres only.
“Extending the Super Priority Visa
service to Nigeria is another example of how the UK is leading the world
in the provision of premium visa services for those coming to the UK to
visit, do business or study.’’
