It added that the facility, located at Omedel Luxury Hotel, 4/6 Link Road off Pascal, Independence Layout, Enugu, would operate twice a week.
According to the statement seen by Punch, the appointment system allows an applicant to select Enugu as their application location when applying for a UK Visa.
“The temporary submission centre in Enugu opens as a Premium Location, meaning it will cost NGN246,250.00, which includes a Premium Lounge appointment, courier return, SMS notifications, general customer support and guidance.”
It added that the demand for visa services would be carefully monitored and service reviewed/expanded should there be sufficient volumes.
The statement added,
“TLS will trial this location for at least 3 months to assess uptake of the service and enable decisions on continuation,”
According to report, the UK government recently announced a £10,000 (about N10m) international relocation payment (IRP) to non-UK trainees and teachers to come and work in England.
The UK visa centre in Enugu comes amid reports that President Bola Tinubu had successfully secured the suspension of the ban on Nigerians who wanted to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
