UKVI LAUNCHES NEW SUPER PRIORITY VISA SERVICE IN INDONESIA
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has launched a new Super Priority Visa (SPV) service in Jakarta, Indonesia.Super Priority Visa (SPV) is an optional, paid service that customers in select locations around the world can purchase, in addition to the visa fee, to receive a faster decision on their visa application. This is the first time that customers in Jakarta will be able to take advantage of the optional service.
British Ambassador to Indonesia and Timor-Leste Dominic Jermey, said: “I am delighted the Super Priority Visa service is being launched in Jakarta. We expect this new service to be particularly useful for business, students and travellers in order to accommodate urgent requirements at very short notice. This is designed to give greater flexibility to our customers and underlines our strong commitment to make improvements to the visa services we offer for Indonesians travelling to the UK.”
Customers who choose SPV will be able to receive a decision on their UK visa application by the end of the next working day, if the appointment is on a weekday. It could take two working days after the appointment, if the appointment is at the weekend or on a bank holiday.
Customers should be aware that in some cases it may take longer to receive a decision, for example if the Home Office needs to request more information from the applicant.
For entry clearance applications submitted from outside the UK, the Home Office aims to process non-settlement applications within 15 working days (3 weeks) and settlement applications within 120 working days (24 weeks) under standard processing times. Standard processing times exclude evenings, weekends and national, public holidays.
The very latest visa decision waiting times for each visa category are published on gov.uk. This also includes additional information about the priority services for those applying outside of the UK.
The fee for the Super Priority Visa Service is currently £1000, plus the standard fee for the type of visa being applied for.
