SUPER PRIORITY VISA
The Super Priority Visa service is the fastest way to secure a visa decision. This service will give eligible customers a decision by end of the next working day from their appointment at the Visa Application Centre. Applications submitted on the last working day of the week or the last working day immediately before a public holiday will have a decision by the end of the next working day. The Super Priority Visa service is optional and has a fee in addition to the visa fee.
If you are a national of the country in which you are applying, or are lawfully resident in that country, you can use the Super Priority Visa service for types of visa provided in the table below.
If you are applying for any other visa type or for a visa to visit a Commonwealth country, a British Overseas Territory or a Crown Dependency (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), you should not use the Super Priority Visa service.
Using the Super Priority Visa service does not imply or guarantee in any way that your visa application will be successful. All applications must meet the requirements of the relevant UK Immigration Rules. Your application may not be straightforward if any of the following apply to you:
•you have been refused a visa for the UK;
•you have been refused leave to enter the UK;
•you have been deported, removed, or otherwise required to leave the UK;
•you have overstayed a period of leave in the UK;
•you have had leave to remain in the UK curtailed by the Home Office;
•you have been refused leave to remain in the UK by the Home Office;
•you have been refused a visa for Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America, or the Schengen countries;
•you have been interviewed, detained, or prosecuted by the police for any offence in the UK or elsewhere;
•you have an unspent criminal conviction in any country;
•you have committed a criminal offence in any country.
If one of these applies to you then you may not want to use the Super Priority Visa service, as UKVI may be unable to process your application. You will not be offered a refund of the Super Priority Visa fee if one of these applies to you and you choose to use this service.
If you choose to use the Super Priority Visa service and UKVI is unable to process your application by end of the next working day, UKVI will contact you to inform you and to advise you when you can expect a decision.
Customers applying in categories for which a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) will be generated should be aware that if their application is successful, their BRP will be produced and available for collection in the UK in accordance with the advice on the BRP collection letter that they will receive from UKVI. You must collect the BRP either before the vignette sticker in your passport expires or within ten days of arriving in the UK, whichever is later. Please note that your BRP may not be ready for collection on the first day that you arrive in the UK.
Please note that this service is not compatible with the “Keep My Passport” service, which means customers only need to submit their passport once a decision has been reached.
