UK working holidaymaker applications suspended in certain locations

Starting 2 April 2005, the UK government will not be accepting working holidaymaker applications at its visa sections in Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, Gaborone and Windhoek.

This move has been taken because of a large increase in the number of working holidaymaker applications received in these countries, which lead to backlogs in processing.

The suspension will be reviewed after six months. Please check workpermit.com again for updates.
