Standard Visa Services
We want you to know that if you apply to enter or remain in the UK, if your application is uncomplicated (for example, we can decide on it without needing additional information from you), it will be decided within our processing timelines (our customer service standards).
To deal with your application within the service standards, we need you to make sure that:
- your application is made before your current visa expires.
- your application is completed accurately.
- you include any required photographs.
- you provide evidence of funds to maintain yourself if required on the application form and guidance.
- you enrol your biometric information and respond to any requests for further information by the dates we ask you.
- been refused leave to remain in the UK by the Home Office, and/or;
- when you attend your appointment at our commercial partner or Service and Support Centre, you submit the required documents with your application.
- if your application is made on a paper form:
- it is signed and dated and made on the correct form, submitting the required documents.
- you have included the payment and any cheque is signed and dated for the full fee.
If you fall into one of these categories, you may not want to use the Priority Visa service, as UK Visas & Immigration may be unable to process your application within the 5-day timescale.
Things to know
All customers are eligible to apply for the Priority Visa service, with the exception of those who are applying for visas to visit other Commonwealth countries, British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), ECAA, EUSS, EEA, and British National Overseas (BNO) applications.
The cost of this service is in addition to the charge for your visa application and is not refundable in the event that your visa request is denied or, in rare circumstances, if processing takes longer than expected. The success of your application is not assured if you use the Priority Visa service. All applicants for visas must adhere to the UK Immigration Regulations.
