UKVI Priority Postal Application Process

As of 2018, the UK immigration application system has changed. Therefore the following page is out of date and is retained for historical interest only. View our overview of the current UK immigration application system here.

The Priority Postal route is an alternative to the Premium and Postal routes. The Priority Postal route is only open to Tier 2 and Tier 4 applications.

The aim behind the Priority Postal service is to drastically cut the waiting times that had typically been a feature of the Home Office's regular Postal service. Priority Postal applications should be decided within 10 working days from receipt of the application. This time frame represents a vast improvement on regular Postal applications.

If you wish to submit your own Priority Postal application, please see the relevant Home Office page for further details.
