The latest updates on UK Government traffic light system
14/05/2021
The UK Government have introduced a traffic light system for international travel, overseen by the Department of Transport (DfT), that sets out the rules travellers must follow to enter England. Separate guidance is available for travellers entering Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) continue to process visas for work, study, residence, visitor in transit (VIT) and direct airside transit (DATV) in red list locations. UKVI continue to accept all types of visa application, but have paused issuing visit visas in red list locations whilst travel bans remains in place. Travellers may wish to take this into consideration when deciding whether to submit a visit visa application from a red list location.
Further information on applying for a UK visa, coronavirus testing and quarantine rules can be found here.

Important information about processing times
30/07/2020
Due to the ongoing global impact of Coronavirus, disruptions to local travel and courier routes have increased transit times in some regions. These delays mean that it may take longer than usual for UK Visas & Immigration to assess your visa application. As a result, for non-settlement visas it may take more than 15 working days from the date of your appointment, and for settlement visas it may take more than 60 working days from the date of your appointment, before you receive a decision.
