Update: Reopening of UK Visa Application Centres in South Africa
Message from the official UK Visa Application Centre (VAC) here in South Africa:
As part of the phased resumption of services by UK Visas & Immigration, our Visa Application Centre in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Pretoria will be reopening from the week of July 13th.
To know which days and times our centre will be open, please check our Address page.
If you would like to submit a new visa application, our appointment booking table is now open.
If you have already submitted a visa application and are awaiting a decision from UK Visas & Immigration, you will be contacted shortly by our staff regarding your application status and passport collection options.
If you select our Courier Return service, please be advised that delivery of your documents could take longer than usual, due to extended transit times for our courier partners as a result of COVID-19.
You will be required to provide a body temperature reading, wear a mask and respect social distancing guidelines to enter our centre.
Please note that since 8 June, new rules have been introduced for entering the UK because of COVID-19. Please check the latest information before you travel at https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
