ORIGINAL POSTERAnyone have any idea how long it takes to get the COE once the visa has been granted , I'm in the UK , any info much appreciated
TLDR : Answer Summary
The time it takes to receive the Certificate of Entry (COE) after a visa has been granted can vary, but several users reported that they received their COE within 24 hours after submission. It is important to have all necessary documents ready, as this can expedite the process significantly. Some users have reported extremely quick turnaround times, with one stating a record of receiving it in just 8 minutes. However, issues with embassy communication can arise, leading to delays in clarifying the COE application process.
