Due to the ongoing impact of Covid and global travel restrictions, UKVI are experiencing unpredictable demand across all visa routes and standard visitor visa applications are taking on average 6 weeks to process. UK Visas and Immigration are working to reduce the current processing time as quickly as possible.

 

Where there are extremely compassionate or compelling circumstances (for example, a medical emergency), we may consider expediting specific cases. However, the bar for this is high and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

 

If your request is exceptionally urgent you can contact UK Visas and Immigration for help. Please note that this is a chargeable service for overseas customers. https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk
