British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has announced that full visa service for all categories, including the first-time visitors from Pakistan will be restored from May 1.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, he said that this facility would be available to the travellers of all ages.
This, he added, would provide the relatives of British citizens of Pakistani origins a chance to visit them.
He hoped that Islamabad would become Britain's single largest visa operation in the world anticipating almost 200,000 applications annually from the next year. This would be three times more of the number two years back.
