I'm a British citizen applying for a single entry tourist visa from the UK via the E-Visa application service.

Based on experience, I'm wondering how long it took from the day you posted your passport, to the day you received it back with the visa included? Thanks

It's a bit of a "piece of string" question. Days if they're quiet, weeks if they're busy.

That's fair. It would good to know if its common for it to take as long as the 3 week warning online.
