The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Andrew Pocock
The
British High Commission in Nigeria on Wednesday announced a new visa
regime application whereby applicants for United Kingdom visa would be
paying online in U.S. dollars.
In a statement signed by its Press and
Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Rob Fitzpatrick, the commission said that
the new system would begin on December 16.
“From December 16 2013 all applications
for a UK visa must be completed using our online application system and
paid for online in US dollars. Payment can be made using Verve debit
card, Visa or MasterCard credit or debit cards or the e-wallet PAGA.
“The move to online application and
payments will deliver a streamlined application process and is
consistent with a wider global trend to online transactions and
payments.
“It meets the requirements of the UK
Government’s Digital by Default initiative and will help cut costs in
the management of the visas operation, which in turn helps to keep visa
fees down,” it added.
