Dear Applicant,

Please note that our visa customers will be required to wear a mask and respect social distancing guidelines to enter our centre. This is to ensure the health and safety of both our customers and staff. #StaySafe
Your travel document and supporting documents are now ready for collection at the TLScontact UK Visa Application Centre. Please read carefully the below instruction to retrieve your document.

Collection in person

Please come with the following:

Your Original TLScontact Application Checklist;
Your Original Photographic ID;
Copy of Your Photographic ID;
Copy of birth certificate (if collecting for your minor child)*.
Collecting using a representative

It is not possible for a third party to collect the documents on behalf of an applicant, except in the following cases:

A parent collecting for a dependent child (where child is below 18);
Applicants 65 years and above (with already issued proxy form obtained during submission);
One member of a family group collecting the passports for the whole family, if applied together;
Government Ministry representatives and Business Network company representative, prior approved by the British High Commission and the company’s authorized signatories with a letter of introduction and a company ID card.
Please note that all third party collections above will require a means of national identification e.g. International Passport, National ID Card, Driver’s License.

IMPORTANT: If any of the above document is missing, the representative will not be allowed to retrieve your travel document.

*It fits with Children Protection Act, to guarantee that we are giving the passport back to one of the parents.

You can check collection times and the Centre address on the Address and opening hours page. You are advised to make prompt arrangements to collect your documents from the Visa Application Centre as TLScontact is only able to hold them for 28 days. After this time they will be returned to UK Visas and Immigration, who will pass them on to the issuing authority.

Return by Courier

If your documents are being sent back to you by courier, it will be dispatched within 24 business hours. You will receive an additional email from TLScontact to confirm when they have been dispatched. The local courier service provider may also confirm this with you, depending upon which courier is used in your area.

If you did not select our Express Courier Return service at the time of submitting your application, it may be possible for you to purchase this service now for an additional fee to avoid having to travel to the Visa Application Centre to collect your documents.
From June 8th, there will be new rules in place for entering the UK due to COVID-19. Please check the latest information before you travel at https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control

I would suggest you call them during working hours they do pick call during work hours. However, if you do a manual booking, your name would be on the list at the gate. I did a Manual booking on 28th May and no email was sent but when I got there on 15 June for the test, my name was on the list with the security.

Was at iom office at Ikeja last week Tuesday
Was drenched in the rain .
Eventually I was able to do a manual booking for myself wife and baby and got July 8th
The guy who attended to us said we should expect email confirmation.
I exchanged numbers with 4 other guys that day .
Till date we haven’t received any mail
