Hi all! I’m an Indian citizen and I want to travel to London for a few days. I just wanted to know how many days will it take to get a tourist visa normally? Is the approval process slow or quick?
Any comments are most welcome :)
I don’t believe general expats can assist you in answering this question.
May I ask where you are currently based?
This summer, there was a significant influx of people attempting to obtain their visas, and securing appointments proved to be extremely challenging. An exhaustive list of documents is required, with proof of income and job being the most crucial.
The visa processing time can range from 2 to 4 weeks.
I recommend hiring an agent to guide you through this process.
Best of luck!
As an Indian citizen myself, compared to getting a Schengen visa, getting a UK visa was pretty quick (We submitted the passports at VFS Bangalore). We could get an appointment fairly immediately on applying and the passports were returned within a week. UK allowed directly uploading most documents electronically. This was late October, with winter approaching there wasn’t much crowd at the VFS.
