Changes made to Online Visa Application from Nigeria if involving Children below 18 years

Information for all applicants applying for a visit visa from Nigeria if involving Children below 18 years.

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

Please note that all applicants applying for a visit visa who are aged under the age of 18 at the time of application should select the “Special Visitor – Child” category when making their visa application. They should not apply as a General Visitor or Family Visitor. Failure to comply with this may result in delays in processing the visa.

If you would require your visa to include more than 1 accompanying adult/parent, ensure you attach a photocopy of the CURRENT passport page bearing the name/passport numbers of both parents/adults at the back of your Visa application Form. Failure to do so, might result in the visa being issued bearing only 1 accompanying adult/parent as stated on your visa application form.
