Please note: Processing time only includes business days (Monday to Friday) when the respective visa office / embassy is open (i.e., not when closed due to holidays or public holidays).
To expedite your visa application process, consider sending your documents via express post or courier. Applications received by us before 09:30 AM can be processed on the same day under the express procedure. We can then arrange for your passport to be delivered on the next working day by city courier to a convenient location, such as the baggage storage facilities at London Airport for you to pick up.
