UK visa processing times by category
The same category-level figures the Home Office publishes, reproduced here for convenience and kept in sync automatically — not our own estimate.
ⓘ These are standard processing-time targets by visa category, not per-embassy figures like the US page — the UK doesn't publish wait times by individual post. Your actual decision date depends on your specific application and volume at the time.

Scope note: this covers applications made from outside the UK only. In-country processing times, and equivalent trackers for the Schengen Area, Canada, and Australia, aren't built the same way — see the
other destinations' processing times page for what's available and why per-post data isn't published everywhere.
This page reproduces the UK Home Office's own published processing-time guidance (or clearly-noted related sources), refreshed on a schedule, for reference only. We make reasonable efforts to keep this data accurate and current, but errors, delays, or omissions can occur. Visadecoder is not liable for any loss or decision made based on this data — it is not a guarantee of any specific decision date and is not a substitute for checking the official page directly before making firm plans.
