UK visa application procedures

The British High Commission in Colombo said the UK Border Agency will not accept new visa applications from November 19 to 23, due to the installation of a new IT system at the British High Commission.

Today is the last day VFS will accept new applications. A full service will resume on November 24.

During this time, customers who made a visa application before November 18 will be able to collect their passports from the visa application centre from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Customers intends to travel to the UK in November or December are advised to submit their visa applications as soon as possible. The UK Border Agency is processing applications within the published target times.

Updates will be placed on the VFS website: www.vfs-uk-lk.com

The British High Commission apologises for any inconvenience.
