Please note that the Visa Section of the British High Commission in Pretoria will be having a new IT system installed between 27 November and 4 December 2009. This is likely to mean that there may be some delays in the processing of UK visa applications during this period. The British High Commission, Gaborone will not be able to accept the submission of any applications between 27 November and 4 December.

Any applicants planning to travel during or shortly after this period should consider submitting their applications early, preferably by 20 November, in order to avoid possible disruption to their travel plans.

The British High Commission, Gaborone apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
