Here's why NOW is the best time to get your UK Visa.
22 billion pounds.
That’s how much the United Kingdom is expected to lose by the end of 2020 due to a significant drop in the number of tourists, thanks to the travel bans that were imposed to prevent the spread of Covid19.
According to a report by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the UK's economy looks set to experience a 78% drop in the amount spent by tourists. This drop will result in a daily loss of 60 million pounds and a weekly loss of 420 million pounds for the nation. This setback will consequently put nearly 3 million jobs at risk in the UK’s travel and tourism sector.
The bright side to this is that now is in fact a great time to apply for your UK visa as the embassy is expected to be more relaxed in their issuing of visas. UAE is one of the countries in the region where tourist visa applications for the UK are being accepted. The UK embassy in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been issuing visas since August 2020. Currently, travelers need to isolate themselves for 14 days when they travel to the UK. However, it is expected that rule to be relaxed soon for travelers from UAE.
Whether for immediate travel or for use in the future, if you have been thinking of applying for a UK visa of any nature, it is highly recommended to start your application process right now. Should you be needing any assistance with the same, we’re here to help. Contact us today.
