The visa section in the British High Commission will only see applicants in person at the High Commission by prior arrangement, as we no longer operate a public enquiry desk. If you feel your query cannot be answered by VFS or by checking the UKBA/VFS websites please contact the above email address regarding making a request for an appointment at the HC. Your request will be considered and a reply sent to you as soon as is possible however unfortunately requests will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
