The British High Commission announces to general public in Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon that due to unforeseen circumstances, the UK Visa Application Centre at the British High Commission in Yaoundé will be closed this week until further notice.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our customers. This closure is temporary and UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) is working to restore normal operations as soon as possible. We hope to reinstate appointments from Monday 12 October 2015.

Please continue to monitor this website page for updates. Customers in Cameroon who had a confirmed appointment to lodge an application in Yaoundé this week, or who are required to collect their documents from the British High Commission, will be contacted directly by UKVI officials.
