Number of offices granting UK visas to be halved
24th November, 2008
APAnews.net has reported that the UK Government is implementing a programme that will see the number of high commissions around the world granting UK visas reduced from 100 to about 50 in the next few years.
The new programme is the reason behind the recent announcement that Tazanian UK visa applications need to be sent to Kenya to be processed. It will also mean that most of the countries in Southern Africa will have Pretoria as a hub for processing visas.
