Optional Priority Visa service open for customers in Kazakhstan

The British Government is pleased to announce that from the 17 November 2014 customers in Kazakhstan who apply for a UK visa will be able to use the optional Priority Visa service. The Priority Visa service means that your visa application is placed at the front of the processing queue. Under normal circumstances, Priority Visa applications will be processed within 5 working days. This service costs £100 in addition to the standard visa fee.
Using the priority visa service does not guarantee that your visa application will be successful. All customers must meet the requirements of the UK's Immigration Rules. The Priority Visa service fee will not be refunded if the visa is refused or, in exceptional circumstances, takes longer than the processing times set out above. The Priority Visa fee should be paid at the time your appointment is booked - customers will not be able to purchase the Priority Visa service after an application has been submitted, British Embassy Astana said.
