British High Commissioner reveals how long it now takes to get UK visa
According to her, the waiting times are reducing and it now takes “an average of five weeks” for one to acquire a visa.
She, therefore, rendered an apology for the long waits encountered by UK visa applicants in recent months, insisting it was due to a number of factors.

These, she said, were due to pressure from the Afghanistan crisis a year ago and the intake of refugees following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Thompson, however, stated that the return of the UK’s priority service means visa applicants will no longer have to wait for long periods.
