The UK on Tuesday announced a series of measures for improving its visa services, including expanding the same day, super-priority services to first-time visitors from India, one of Britain’s largest visa markets.
Britain’s Immigration Minister James Brokenshire, who is on a five-day visit to the country, announced the new package for improving visa services for Indian nationals during a visit to a visa application centre here.
Improvements to the visa services include expanding the same day, super-priority visa services to first-time visitors and for work visas. The three to five day priority visa service will also be expanded to visit, study and work routes, allowing more applicants in India to seek a faster visa decision.
“India is one of the UK’s largest visa market and we continue to make improvements to the service here to make it as easy and straightforward as possible for our customers to apply for their visas,” Brokenshire said. He said that more and more Indian visitors are choosing to come to the UK on holiday and for business.
