Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date (a) Albanian and (b) Polish authorities will be granted permission to restart the processing of UK visas.
UK visa applications are processed by the Home Office, not other national authorities.
The decision on when to re-open the UK visa application centres in Poland and Albania, which are operated by the Home Office’s commercial partner TLS, will be made as soon as the Home Office and TLS are satisfied TLS are able to deliver the service safely for both staff and customers, and in compliance with local government guidelines relating to Covid-19.
