Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take immediate steps to reopen consular facilities in Malawi to enable Malawian nationals to obtain UK visas in that country.

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), an operational command of the Home Office, has responsibility for running the UK’s visa service.

In Malawi, UK visa applications can be made through the Visa Application Centre in Lilongwe, which is open five days a week. UKVI has no plans to change its current operating model.
