Activities At The UK Visa Application Centre, Ikeja

On the 2nd of November 2021, I was at the UK visa application centre, situated at Etiebet Place,  Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way, Ikeja, Lagos. It is interesting to observe various types of activities taking place at the UK Visa Application Centre, Etiebet place,  Ikeja,  Lagos. Nigeria.

ACTIVITIES AT THE UK VISA APPLICATION CENTRE, ETIEBET PLACE, IKEJA

By 08.45 am, when we arrived at the Visa Application Centre it was a beehive of activities.  Packing a car became a herculean task. Two men in strangely looking uniforms accosted us that we cannot park our vehicle unless we pay a sum of one thousand Naira. We agreed.

Because I only accompanied a relation to the centre, nothing else, I decided to stay at the opposite side of the visa application centre, a man set chairs for anyone willing to seat-down, I thank him, expectedly, he charged two hundred Naira, per chair. I paid for sitting for 45 minutes.

At the gate, we saw a fairly long line. Visa applicants formed long queues. They stayed in an orderly manner. On enquiries, we discovered that there are lines for the applicants coming on appointments, and a separate line for visa applicants that came to get results and the collection of their submitted passport.

They appeared very tense. I understood their apprehension without enquiries. However, they should do themselves a lot of favour by reading facts36.com/how-to-avoid-visa-rejection.  Visa processing is not as difficult as many people believed.

It was written on a tiny board at the front of the gate of the visa application centre as follows:
