The outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Paul Arkwright, has cautioned Nigerians seeking visas to the UK to avoid presenting forged documents. He said that the British High Commission received about 80, 000 visa applications annually, adding that about 70 per cent of those applications were successful. He said that 90 per cent of visa applications were from students wanting to study in the UK. Arkwright further advised those seeking visas to apply “in good time’’ and also ensure they have the required documents ready. The British High Commissioner noted that the visa application was an online process and the High Commission was “working hard to streamline the process’’.
