It’s like this UK government is smoking something!!! How dare they hold on to people’s passports and claim they won’t refund us!!!!
Can they try that with American citizens??!
Do they think we won’t need our passports to travel to other countries or what??! So because it’s a Nigerian passport, they think “What do they need their useless passports for?”
I don’t blame them, it’s our foolish politicians that have no self respect that I blame. If Nigeria was as good as the UAE or even Kenya, how many of us would’ve cared about going to the uk for holiday??

UK has suspended processing visit visa applications until the travel restrictions is lifted.
This is sad and unjust.
Most of Europe this new variant, yet no travel restrictions.
For short of words, this action is somewhat racist.
God will help all still expecting their decision/passport.

I would say a situation is either racist or not there isn’t a somewhat one.This is not one of them.

You might as well accuse Canada who jump on restrictions quickly but, always remember safety first.

Get positive and I hope you get your passport soon.

Wow...dis degenerated fast.

This appears not to affect student visa- msc & phd

I just canceled a visit visa application and requested for a refund.

Please will I get a refund for the priority service fee paid? I can’t seems to find a refund page for tlscontact V.I

Biometric hasn’t been collected and it is still within 5 days. Biometric was scheduled for December 10th.

Not to pleasant times for Nigerian visit visa applications.

Like I saw it coming. This is really bad!

Dinoforyou00:
Good morning everyone. Please I want to ask that since Nigeria would be added to the red list as from Monday. I hope this won’t have anything to do with the decision at the uk embassy or have them pause work or something, for those of us that are still on the waiting list for our visa. Being a Nigerian, and the country as already been added to the red list

Dinoforyou00:

Somehow I think people on red list countries planning to game or already gaming the initial quarantine instruction may have contributed to this. These guys are also gathering intel on what goes on.

This makes no sense, allow people to withdraw and refund their money. Why hold on to passport and money.

This is insane!

Debbieeeeeee:

It’s like these people are crazy , they better give me back my passport and visa fees I’m not even doing again

I hope now they can return my husband's passport since 5th of August,a month now since we did application withdrawal still they are yet to return the passport. Just taking the bloody piss�

cutebear:
They even said no refund!!

my $516 will just go for fun, if I use my money to reach out to the needy it’s better and fulfilling for me than to forfeit to them Awon werey osinwin gbogbo.

I’m in para mode right now, just give me my passport and visa fees I don’t even want the visa again. What type of rubbish is this . They turned off the comment section of their instagram page posts.

It makes no sense at all we are trying to live with a pandemic, covid has been around for good two years and it has been not been eradicated. Aren’t we meant to find a way to live with it and manage it properly , why ask people to pay £2400 for quarantine , people doing per hour per hour jobs cannot have £2400 on ground after paying bills ko possible! Then you’re asking someone to drop 2400 to quarantine.
If they know they don’t want to attend to applications and they’re overwhelmed it’s certainly not a problem please just return passports and refund visa fees.

That was my main question when I saw the news, I just asked myself that, what about people’s International Passport that they are holding.

I cancelled my UK Visa application last month before my Biometric date because I wasn’t totally comfortable with the way they are handling application as at then.

Now this!, so sad, as people still have their passport with them.

I withdrew my application in September prior to submission because I had a quick trip to the usa and it was official, they didn’t give me my refund until October , at that point I just wanted my passport and they could take their time to refund I didn’t mind. See me in their deep shit again. I am angry

The Real bloody piss, what the hell is this , please go to TLS and make a scene, they’ll produce the passport, Dzee got his passport last week from Abuja TLS office

Did you get refunded for any TLS value added services like priority processing?

Hycon:


Did you get refunded for any TLS value added services like priority processing?

I didn’t pay for any added services, I paid just visa fees, any value service I pay right there with my card , I can’t pay those thieves ahead because next thing you’ll hear no refund

Hmm, I never thought of that.
I sent a refund request to TLS. I will wait for their response.

Please what about people decision as been made on their application and sent to Tls

Nigeria government were quick to start talking about the virus in the country so they can start getting aid/funds from abroad.

But how will you term this action as racist. Whatever happened the UK government will protect their country and citizens first which is normal thing for a responsible government to do.

There are other cities in Turkey, Instabul is the capital city

No, Ankara is the capital

Hi dear, please did you find out if withdrawal is regarded as refusal. I am looking out for your reply. Thank you.

Nobody is disputing protecting their citizens here, everyone’s bone of contention is their refusal to conclude applications, return passports and issue a refund.

Please I read where someone said the ban would be lifted on the 20th December. How valid is this information ?
If one is considering entering UK via turkey and staying in Turkey for 2 weeks, that would be close to the 20th December. Hence any need spending extra cost to Turkey?
