The British High Commission in Lilongwe does not deal with visas. UK visa customers will continue to complete their applications and pay their visa fee online at Visa4UK in exactly the same way as before, and choose an appointment at the TLS Contact VAC in Malawi.

The Visa Application Centre in Lilongwe will be open every week day between 0800 – 1500hrs. Customers will be able to make appointments to submit visa applications in Lilongwe between 0830 and 1430 Mondays to Fridays, and can collect their passports on any week day from 1200 – 1500.

As before, applications made in Lilongwe will be processed in line with UKVI’s global customer service standards. All UK visa applications will continue to be decided by UK Visas and Immigration staff in a fair and objective process. Staff at the Visa Application Centre have no influence at all over the outcome of any visa application.

UKVI will continue to offer an extensive range of services to customers across Malawi, including access to premium and priority products such as the Priority Visa service where customers can fast track their application for an additional fee.
