How long does a visa take to process?

Processing time depends on the country. Schengen visas are typically decided within about 15 calendar days of the appointment and can take up to 45 days in complex cases; UAE tourist visas are often issued in a few working days; US and UK visas depend heavily on appointment availability, which can be the longest part of the wait.

Because appointment slots rather than processing is usually the bottleneck, start the visa process as early as your travel plans allow. We will give you a realistic timeline for your specific destination when you enquire.
