The Government of the United Kingdom has established the Visa Application Centre in the Maldives on the request of the Maldivian Government, in order to ease the process for those applying for UK visas, especially students going to the United Kingdom for higher studies. This is part of the government's broader efforts to ease and strengthen the consular services provided to Maldivians.
