UK Embassy in Baku on how situation in Ukraine affects visa issuance process

UK Visa and Immigration is prioritising Ukraine Family Scheme applications in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the situation in Ukraine, and so applications for study, work and family visas may take longer to process, the British Embassy in Azerbaijan said.

"‘Priority’ and ‘super priority’ visa services have been temporarily suspended for new study, work and family visa applications," the UK Embassy in Azerbaijan said on Twitter.

Standard visitor visas are currently taking an average of 6 weeks to process, it said.
