Previously, people from the coastal counties of Mombasa, Kwale, Taita-Taveta, Kilifi, Tana River and Lamu had to travel to Nairobi to seek UK visas. Mr Hailey said the new facility at Nyali in Mombasa would supplement the visa application centre already operating in Nairobi. “The new visa centre in Mombasa will extend the range of UK visa services offered to customers across Kenya,” he said. Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho welcomed the launch of the visa application centre in the county, saying it would help UK visa seekers from across the region. “The visa centre will save us time and money as we will no longer travel to Nairobi to seek such services,” he said.
