Priority visa service and prime time appointments available in the Philippines from 1 and 12 May


23 April 2012

From 1 May 2012 the UK Border Agency in the Philippines is introducing a priority visa service.

The priority visa service is available to customers who pay an additional fee to have their visa application placed at the front of the queue. Under normal circumstances, a priority service visa application will be processed within 2-3 working days.

From 12 May 2012, we will also introduce a prime time appointment service for the convenience of customers. This will allow applicants who pay an additional fee to make an appointment to submit their visa application and provide biometric information at the visa application centre in Manila on a Saturday morning.

All visa customers who have documents ready for collection will also be able to do so between 9:00 and 12:00 on Saturdays at no charge
