Getting a Visa to the United Kingdom has just been made easy using the TLS. Registering for a visa first you have to visit the gov.uk to make your visa application, pay your fees and book your appointments. To submit your documents to the visa application centre.
Applicants are to register at the TLScontact website, to avoid unnecessary delays. TLS gives applicants a guide to applying for their visa, everything you need to know about visas, requirements needed and so much more. It should be noted that children under 5 years old are now required to attend the visa application centre to complete the application process which also makes it compulsory for them to have their photos taken at the VRC.
TLSContact Nigeria
This article will provide step by step information on the visa application to the United Kingdom.
Documents needed in the visa application centre are as follows:
- Original passport or travel document
- Residence permit or national ID card.
Remove staples clips or pins from documents before submitting them.
If you would like to submit an old passport or a sponsor’s passport as supporting documents then copies must be provided as well.
The next is where you need to apply for a visa or make an application online and book your appointment, Creating an account in the UK government visas and immigration website at Gov.uk. On this website, you can then book an appointment at one of the visa application centres.
When going to the visa application centre, note that most of them require a fee to use them, you can pay them on the UK website. A copy of the receipt is needed during the interview.
After payment, a Unique Reference Number will be sent to you which is also known as the GWF. The GWF number is needed as you will use it to register on the TLSconact website (uk.tlscontact.com.ng).
The next step is to select an appointment time as it will be needed. A convenient date and time should be chosen by you, lateness to your application centre is not allowed because there is a limited amount of time you can reschedule your appointment. An email will be sent to you, confirming the date and location and also the documents which you need to bring along.
Below are some of the requirements which are needed:
- Receipt of your payment
- Passport photograph
- Printed slip of your barcode
Now let’s get to the part where the TLS is useful for visa applicants.
Once you have booked your appointment, you have to register your details on the TLS website. Registering your details on the website reduce delays while attending your appointment and it also allows you to track your application status.
When you register on the TLS website, they have some value-added services that are provided for applicants.
TLS offers the following value-added services in their visa application centre in Nigeria:
- SMS
- Primetime appointment
- Priority visa processing
- Priority visa settlement services
- On-demand mobile service
- Form filling assistance
- Silver package
- Group appointment service.
Each of these value-added services is to be paid for to make your visa submission fast at the visa application centre. It should be noted that the value-added services are not compulsory as you can go ahead with your application without going for any of them.
Collection of your passport at the visa application centre can be done easily but you have to come with the following documents.
- Original TLScontact Nigeria checklist
- Copy and Original of your photograph ID.
COLLECTION OF DOCUMENTS
Another person can collect your document on your behalf which is known as the Third Party Collection. Some conditions should be noted about the third party collections as there are reasons which are attached to it.
- A parent collecting for a dependent child when the child is below 18 years of age.
- One member of a family group collecting the passport for the whole family if applied together.
- Applicants who are 65 years and above with already issued forms obtained during submission.
- Government ministry representative and business network company representative who is approved by the British High Commission and the company’s authorized signature with a letter of introduction and a company ID card.
- Applicants must make sure that they attend appointments themselves as this cannot be done by a third party because photos and fingerprints will be taken. You should note that once your photos and biometrics are done, your visa fee can no longer be refunded back to you.
Applicants should bear in mind the following tips which will be stated below as they are essential for you to know. the TLS should not be blamed for any of this. Read below carefully.
The application which will be submitted by the applicants will be considered by UKVi part of the UK government. The TLScontact Nigeria does not make any decisions relating to visa applications.
UKVi may ask for more information like another document for you to attend an interview. All of this will be sent to you via email.
Once your passport has been returned to the TLS, they will contact the applicant by email and they will update your personal account page on the website. The email which will be sent to you will tell you how to collect your passport back
After all of this, TLScontact Nigeria will remove your personal information from its records.
All of this means that, even after applying and going through all the processes, your visa application might still get rejected. That is why most times we see people overjoyed because they have been able to get what they are looking for, for a long time ago.
You should bear in mind that the TLS is there to help in making all the people happy.
That’s all for now on TLSCONTACT Nigeria Lagos & Abuja (All you need to know)

I got to the TLS center in ikeja at 9.05am (earlier scheduled for an 8,30am appointment) and was charged extra 30,000naira even though my that batch of applicant are still waiting to be attended to. Is this right?
I’m sorry I don’t know much about their late coming penalties. However, it’s unfair to charge applicants frivolously

Good morning pls i submitted my application on the 4th of june and im yet to get a feedback from TLS although just found out i was supposed to register with TLS when i put in my application which i didnt do. pls whats the way out?
I’m suggesting that you go back and do it the way it should be done
This is similar to mine. I already attended my appointment and submitted before i came back to register on TLScontact. When i registered finally, i am unable to fill and submit form using my GWF number. It comes up with an error message that an application has been submitted already.
I forgot to add my old passport while submitting supporting document for my student tier 4 visa application.
Does this have any effect in the application?
Or can I go back and submit it?
What about the set of photocopies of your previous visas are you having them there. If you did, your old passport is not important.
I am having problems paying my visa fees online. Please is there anyway you can help with this. It has taken nearly 2 weeks of this one issue and as such I am yet to complete the online application.
Sorry we are not in position to help. Contact TLS contact please.

Hello,
We submitted our application last month 22 june for uk visa for graduation next week 24th july and decision is yet to be made. What do you advice?
Thanks
I’m sorry my friend, the graduation is less that a week, there is nothing much you can do. Please get in touch with TLCONTACT where you submitted the application.
When The site says decision is made, how long does it for passports to return back to TLS Contact and then to my registered address.
I applied for UK visiting visa since the 12th of June. It is over 4 weeks now. The only email I received was that it was in decision making stage. It over the 15 working days. No email from TLS contact yet. Should I just go the visa office in Lagos to check if it has been returned? What contact no do I use to contact TLS? The the above are not working. Pls help.
In recent times many applicants have the same type of complaint.
Please endeavour to visit their office personally.
Can I make a slight change on my already submitted visa application form at the TLScontact center on my appointment date?
Yes, go quickly and inform them of your request. I believed it is possible. However be expecting additional charges.
I submitted my visa application yesterday and I remembered while on my way home that copies of my previous visas and entry stamps was photocopied in both sides of the A4 paper which mean that out of 4 Schengen visas I made photocopies of only one was scan because the entry stamps were on top while the other visas were below which I double checked when I got home. I do not know whether their superfast scanner automatically scans both sides of the A4 paper? Please, I am worried since I realize my mistake, can this in anyway affect my application since I told them in my application form about the previous visas? If their scanner automatically scans both sides of the A4 paper then I have nothing to be worried about.
If you can’t go back, relax, it will not affect decision on your visa, if other important requirements are available.
Previous visas are just additional proof of eligibility and not the main requirements.
Can TLS come to our office for the processing?, we will like to apply as a group from our organisation. Our office is in Lagos.
Your question is good, please direct it to TLS CONTACT, apparently we are not their representative.
Good day i like to know if the tls will
Be opened on 22nd august wednesday for submission because ive got to submit on that day or are they closed for holiday
Yes, they will be on holiday, because Federal government declared 21&22 August, public holiday in Nigeria.
Please can you help me with tls contact phone number in abuja
Sorry. Currently, TLS CONTACT Abuja, doesn’t provide their telephone number
Pls, how can I cancel my uk tourist visa application and get refund of my visa fee? I’m due for biometrics on August 30th. I’m not ready to travel again due to some personal circumstances. Thank you
Please direct your enquiry to TLS contact where you placed in your application, they should be able to address it because it is a policy matter.
For a family of five, father, mother and 3 children below 18 years. Is the payment of premium lounge access by the father sufficient for the family appointment
Please ask TLS CONTACT, We do not have information on their premium lounge access. Apparently, we don’t work with them for now.
Hello, I paid for priority service using the new website.I had my interview on the 14th of August. Got a message from visainfoshefo about my application been prepared by an entry clearance officer. called UKVI and was confirmed that a decision has been made on my application. But yet to get any message from TLS. Should I go to their office? Its been 2weeks now. My school resumes in a week and some days,.
We applied as a family group for UK visa, but only the father’s passport has been returned – the kids passports are yet to be returned and it is 17 days after submission. Please is this a normal occurrence , because for previous family application, all the passports were ready at the same time.
It is not a usual practice, there may be an error somewhere, due to the volume of work in summer time.
Quickly visit them I enquired.
Good afternoon, i was suppose to travel to London on 16 of September. I have filled the form but i am unable to get an appointment date, and to my understanding. I dont think it is possible to pay visa fee without chosen appointment date and time. Please apprise me if there is a workaround regarding “the appointment you have chosen is no longer available, please chose another time” it keeps taking forever even chosen dates like 28 of sep,
OR is it TLscontact that can only resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for any info
Good day, Although we cannot speak for them because we don’t work with them, however this is supposed to be their busiest time. Please direct your enquiry to their office, they are the one to give the right answer.
Is it OK to go to TLS office to ask if my passport is ready for collection. I havent received feedback from the. I paid for a priority visa and it was due yesterday.
Why not if you have the time.
Hi. Am trying to book an appointment with tls for biometrics to go to Australia. I have submitted my application on the immi account but I have tried endlessly on the website to book appointment. How else can I go about booking an appointment. Also, I have less than 5 days to do it. Thanks
Please visit their Visa Application Centre to get accurate information.
Please I applied for a visa in Lagos with my baby and was denied. We requested an administrative review and the decision has been overturned. We’ve been asked to bring our passports for the visa to be stamped.
Please do my baby and I have to be present to submit the passport? Is it possible for me to submit on behalf of both of us? Because we don’t live in Lagos.
Yes, since you’re going for passport submission only. You can go without your baby.
Good evening, I got a mail from Tlscontact stating that my application has been sent for decision making, but I noticed that the type of visa indicated in the tlscontact page is visitor’s visa instead of Tier 2 visa. When I noticed the error I quickly went to complain at the center where I submitted my documents and biometrics and another printout was given to me indicating Tier2 but the visitor’s visa still shows when ever I login to their website, Please I want to know if this error can affect the decision on my visa application. Thanks.
You’ve done the reasonable thing by informed them on time, I believed they will act accordingly.
Pls, if the documents are all correct and the information supplied on them are right and true, can an error like saying 7th April 2018 instead of saying 7th April 1991 during Biometric capturing at the TLS Contact lead to a visa application to be rejected?
No it can’t. Such a minor typography error cannot lead to visa rejection I believed.
