How long for postal visa?

joe · Aug 10th, 2004, 17:36

Hi, i've heard that it takes no longer than 15 days for a visa to be processed by post in the UK. From personal experience, how long does it take to receive the visa? If I send away on 12th August am I likely to get the visa by 1st September?

Many Thanks, Joe

Hi, I have applied twice, and both times recieved in the required time.If you are worried you could apply in person ,and have the visa issued in one day.Try this linkhttp://www.hcilondon.net/

wanted to bring this back up again
does anyone from the uk know if its £30 for a tourist visa and that it lasts 6 months?
it says on the form short duration? but will that cover me for my 6 month trip?
many thanks

Yes to all, & normally they're issued for multiple entry within the 6months

But it starts from the date of issue so you need to time it as best as you can.
