News Alert: UKVCAS Appointment Availability Tightens Under New TLS Contact Partnership

UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) appointments have become harder to secure following the Home Office's new partnership with TLS Contact.

All appointments are now provided by TLS Contact, leading to significant challenges for applicants across the UK.

For those based in London, the nearest free appointment currently available is in Edinburgh, while the closest paid appointments are in Bristol and Birmingham.

This lack of local availability is causing widespread frustration as demand continues to surpass the number of available appointments.

Applicants are advised to plan well in advance and consider traveling for appointments as the situation persists.
