Key Points
- The United Kingdom launched additional fast-track visa service options for nationals of Hong Kong
Overview
The United Kingdom (UK) government launched Super Priority Visa (SPV) services in Hong Kong on 27 August 2024. As a result, customers applying for a UK visa in Hong Kong can pay for faster decisions and processing of their applications.
The Super Priority Visa Service fee is currently £1,000, plus the standard fee for the type of visa being applied for.
Individuals who choose SPV will usually receive a decision on their UK visa application by the end of the next working day if their appointment is on a weekday. It could take two working days after an appointment if the appointment is on the weekend or a bank holiday.
