Start to finish, approved in 36 hours. But triple check everything before sending and keep it simple. Don't stress, it will go through.

Yes it’s been submitted if you get the payment receipt
Then - processing. Or pending approval
Can take ? Weeks
Depending on how busy the embassy is with applications
But they seem to be prioritised by date of travel
( so some may take 2 weeks
Some may take 4 weeks )

It's decidedly NOT normal for a credit card payment to take 20-25 minutes to process. It would normally "time out" after a minute or 2.You should check your credit card tomorrow to make sure it was charged properly, or even at all. You may have to do it again - the payment that is, not the application.But really, why be so stressed about it ?

Carl ********
i had an email receipt for payment from the embassy straight away but mines been on "processing" for 1 week. Is that normal?
Ronny *********
Depending the card you use there could be issues, VISA and Mastercard works best
Ronny *********
Carl Morgan Average for the moment in London between 4 and 6 weeks (More visa requests because limited visa exempt and high season)
Carl ********
Ronny Liekens not what i read. 15 working days on average 🤷🏻♂️ only 4-6 week of their are issues with the visa
Ronny *********
Carl Morgan I doubt it 15 days is low season time, but you could be lucky

Carl Morgan 2 weeks already for me not finalized
