Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the system for online applications for UK visas from Malawi will become fully operational.

UK Visas and Immigration has moved to an application and payment process in which almost all customers apply and pay for their visas online. This system is already fully operational in Malawi. The move to online applications and
payments has delivered a streamlined process that is consistent with a wider global trend for online transactions and payments. Customers who do not have a credit or debit card can seek a sponsor to pay online. Prepaid credit or debit cards from the major suppliers can be provided by Malawian banks and used with this system.
