• The worldwide response to COVID-19 has had an operational impact on UK Visas and Immigration.
  • In light of the current Coronavirus alert, the UK Visa Application Centre in Tunis has changed the opening hours as follows until further notice, starting from the 18th March 2020:
    • Opening Hours: 08:30 to 13:30 Monday to Friday (except public holidays)
    • Passport Return: 08:30 to 13:30 Monday to Friday (except public holidays)
  • Due to closed airspace/border restrictions, UKVI cannot send visa vignettes across certain borders/routes.
  • The situation is likely to continue to evolve.
  • If concerned about their passport, customers can contact the Coronavirus Immigration Helpline for advice on this.
  • We are updating the central gov.uk page to reflect these wider changes
  • We should also note guidance from the NHS and gov.uk.
