John ******************
ORIGINAL POSTERMy partner has applied for a Uk visit visa, does anyone have any experience of how long it takes to issue, thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The processing time for a UK visit visa varies significantly among applicants, with estimates ranging from 10 days to several months. On average, many applicants report receiving their visas within 2 to 6 weeks. Some have opted for expedited services, paying extra for faster processing, which can guarantee a two-week turnaround. However, delays can occur, especially during busy periods, such as the current situation with Ukraine refugee visas.

The latest on the. Gov. UK Web site is Standard visitor visa applications are currently taking on average 6 weeks to process. We are working hard to process applications to get back to the 3-week service standard. They are a bit busy with Ukraine refugee visas at present due to the war
