The British High Commission in Nigeria has said visa applications will resume soon, Daily Post reports.

In a statement on Thursday, the Commission explained that Nigerians hoping to visit the UK could do so once international flights resume.

The statement read in part: “UK visa application centres are reopening in phased manner globally when it is safe to do so and when we can operate an effective service.

“TSL contact are putting appropriate measures in place and working hard to reopen in Nigeria. We will share details of when VACs will reopen soon.”

The airspace was shut in the country to domestic and international flights in March, in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19.

However, with the resumption of domestic flights on Wednesday, there is optimism that international flights will resume soon.
