Dear All, Good news, the limit of applications accepted has been removed (sort of). All urgent applications will be accepted. As for the non-urgent service – the only change here is that we will not accept applications of people who will travel after two months, technically all those applicants who are travelling before 21st of July should be accepted. Many thanks!

Same Day visas are possible to obtain on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, if an appointment has been scheduled with the Tajikistan embassy in advance. 3 days and 1 week services can be lodged on Monday and Thursday without booking an appointment.
 

The Nigerian High Commission will be closed on the 1st of May. However, their visa centre 'Online Integrated Services Limited' (OIS) will still be open to accept application forms on that day, which will be processed with a one day delay.

The High Commission have increased their prices slightly and there will be another increase of £2 extra on the 1^st of June 2013. Also, they now offer a same day service.
 

From now on, yellow fever certificates must be submitted along with your visa application.

The embassy will not accept applications on 22/04 until 26/04; collection only. They are moving to a different location this week and it is therefore likely that there might be changes related to processing times, however this has not been confirmed yet.

The Chinese Consulate does not recognise Dual Nationality. I.e. If you possess a UK passport: You can either apply with your UK passport or with your non UK passport. Your non UK passport will be treated as if you did not possess a UK passport, therefore UK resident permits or entry stamps, obtained within the last 6 months, are necessary when applying for a Chinese visa with your non UK passport. We offer a ‘Second UK Passport’ service, in case you do not have the above mentioned in your non UK passport and are using your current UK passport to travel whilst your Chinese visa is meant to be obtained. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
