For Visit Visas (non-settlement)

To help manage the significant global demand for visit visa applications, UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) is offering a reduced number of Priority Visa (PV) appointments for visit visas each week in locations where these are available.

Super Priority Visa (SPV) services for visit visas will remain available as normal, where these are offered.

The reduction in Priority Visa appointments for new visit visa applications will enable UKVI to process more standard applications for all customers.

For Study and Work Visas (non-settlement)

Priority Visa and Super Priority Visa appointments for new study and most work applications are available (see below for exceptions). There is no reduction in the volume of Priority Visa and Super Priority Visa appointments available for study and work applications, where these are offered.

Priority Visa services for Start Up, Innovator or High Potential Individual applications – Customers and their dependants applying on the Start Up, Innovator or High Potential Individual routes are not eligible for the Priority Visa service.

For Family and Marriage Visas (settlement)

Priority Visa services are available for new family visa applications.

How to book Priority and Super Priority Visas appointments

Where available, Priority and Super Priority Visas will be displayed when you book your appointment. Where appointments are showing as unavailable this means that the weekly number of appointments have been taken.

Further Priority Visa appointments will be released once a week. All new Priority Visa appointments will be released at the same time each week.

Retrospective Priority and Super Priority Visas services are not currently available in any visa category.
