has paused the issuance of visitor’s visas to citizens of countries on the United Kingdom red list, including Nigeria.The development came hours after the UK added Nigeria to its travel red list as a result of concerns over the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
“To support the UK Government’s aim to protect public health from COVID-19 and associated variants of concern , UK Visas & Immigration will pause making decisions on visitor visa applications in all red list countries, including Nigeria, until travel restrictions are lifted,” the statement reads. “You will not be able to request a refund of your visa fee once you have given your biometrics at a Visa Application Centre .
The United Kingdom on Saturday said travellers from Nigeria would not be permitted to enter the United Kingdom starting today as a result of the growing concerns over an outbreak of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.
What do you think young people will do? , do you think they will do better?.Capital NO.
It's so unfortunate, UK has recorded more death, more infected people and more number of Omicron than Nigeria yet Nigeria didn't ban them... It's a shame Africa is still suffering inferiority complex because of visionless old men in power 😡
