A press release from the British High Commission in Colombo informs applicants that the UK Border Agency will not be able to accept new visa applications between Thursday, November 19 and Monday 23 November 2009, due to the installation of a new IT system at the British High Commission, as part of an IT rollout to offices world-wide.
The last day on which VFS accept new applications will be Wednesday 18 November. A full service will resume on Tuesday 24 November.
During this time, customers who made visa applications before November 18 will be able to collect their passports from the visa application centre from 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.
Customers who intend to travel to the UK in November or December are advised to submit their visa applications as soon as possible. Currently, the UK Border Agency is processing applications within the published target times.
