Super Priority Service

For those who cannot afford the time it takes to process their visa applications through standard processing, which depending on the visa type or location can take weeks to months, there are quicker alternatives for some visa categories namely the Super Priority and Priority Service.

Please note these additional Priority Service are not available for all visa types.

Paying for them does not mean the application will be approved just that it may be processed quicker.
