As part of the phased resumption of services by UK Visas & Immigration, the Visa Application Centre in Lagos Ikeja will be reopening from the week of June 22nd for passport return only. Please note that the centre will not be open for new applications at this time. Please check the Address page for information on opening days and hours.
If you received an e-mail before lockdown confirming that your passport was ready for collection, you may retrieve your passport from our centre. If you have already purchased our Courier Return service, your passport will be dispatched to you in the coming days.
If your visa vignette was valid for 30 days, to allow you to travel to the UK to take up longer term residence, and this has now expired, please refer to the gov.uk website for further guidance.
If you are awaiting a decision on your visa application, please do not attend our centre until you have received a message from us confirming that your passport is ready for collection. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
If you urgently require your passport prior to completion of your application process, you may still upgrade to our Keep My Passport service at our centre. This will allow you to collect your passport and keep it with you until your visa decision has been made.
