Customers in Cameroon, Tanzania, and Uganda can also submit their UK visa applications from the comfort of their home, office, or any other preferred location using the On Demand Mobile Visa service.

Ugandan applicants for UK visas will continue to go through a private company, VFS Global, but with added options for expediency, following the UK Visas and Immigration decision to renew the outsourcing contract. VFS Global offices in Kampala are located at Lugogo House.

Alok Singhal, Head- Sub-Saharan Africa, VFS Global said recently, “We are excited to embark on this new journey with UK Visas and Immigration here across Sub-Saharan Africa. We have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with UKVI since 2003 and look forward to now bringing travelers from Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, our best-in-class services.”

From November 19, 2024 customers applying for a UK visa will be directed to VFS Global to book an appointment to complete their visa application. Customers will also have the option to choose additional services designed to make the application process easier.

Customers in Cameroon, Tanzania, and Uganda can also submit their UK visa applications from the comfort of their home, office, or any other preferred location using the On Demand Mobile Visa service.

In addition, the Premium Lounge service offers a personalised submission experience with dedicated staff members, which is available in Ethiopia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

The services can be booked in advance on www.VFSGlobal.com or at the Visa Application Centre at the time of the appointment. These services are completely optional and have no bearing on the processing timeline and outcomes of visa applications.
