The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the availability of appointments at the Visa Application Centre in Minsk, Belarus.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Appointment capacity is agreed by UK Visas and Immigration. Where demand for appointments in Belarus is high customers may need to keep checking to find the next available appointments, which are opened 4 weeks in advance.
