Delays coming up in the UK visa sections – plan ahead now!
Dear all
Please note that the Visa Section of the British High Commission in Pretoria will be having a new IT system installed between 27 November and 4 December 2009. This is likely to mean that there may be some delays in the processing of UK visa applications during this period. The Visa Application Centres will still be able to accept applications during this period and will not be affected, but the Visa Section will not be able to accept the direct submission of any applications between 27 November and 3 December.
If you, or any of your customers, are planning to travel during or shortly after this period you should consider submitting your application early, preferably by 20 November, in order to avoid possible disruption to your travel plans.
Please circulate this message within your teams and to your customers.
Yours sincerely
Chris Feist
