New Delhi: The British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis on Friday said they were planning to restart the visa application processing within the 15 allocated days. Ellis said there might be a few cases which may take longer like the complex ones. But the new move would enable people to travel between India and the UK with much greater ease
“Good news for those travelling from India to UK- visit visas now within standard time of 15 working days (with a small number of trickier cases taking longer). Great work by the visa teams across the world,” the British High Commissioner to India said in a tweet along with a video message.
“There are still a few cases which take longer, very complex ones and that’s right that they do. But this enables new people to move to India and the UK with much greater ease,” he added
A UK Standard Visitor visa is applicable on a business trip, when visiting your family of friend, on a vacation, and/ or taking a short course of study.
“Two months ago, I said that our aim was to get back to processing India to Great Britain visa applications within our standard time of 15 days by the end of this year. The good news is now, we have achieved that,” Alex Ellis said in the video message.
He also advised the applicants to provide information as requested.
Meanwhile, Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami announced that India is all set to resume the e-Visa facility for British citizens travelling to India.
