As I stated in response to Question 7353, the Scotland-Malawi Partnership has raised the issue of visas for Malawians to the UK with officials in the Scotland Office, Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

Officials have explored with the Scotland-Malawi Partnership how to support the preparation of visa applications. I understand that provision has been made within the Home Office/UKVI to support the ongoing relationship with the Scotland-Malawi Partnership.
