COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the UK\u2019s Visa and Immigration Service.<\/p>\n

UKVCAS Service Status:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS), led by Sopra Steria on behalf of UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), has suspended all services in order to protect the health and wellbeing of the customers and staff.<\/p>\n

For those migrants who have already booked appointments, UKVCAS will automatically reschedule their appointments. Initially appointments will be rescheduled for 6 weeks ahead of the original appointment.<\/p>\n

New applicants will need to register their accounts as normal, and book an appointment once the system reopens.<\/p>\n
