Introduction
Are you looking to move to the UK anytime soon? Well, there are many things to consider, for instance, the cost of visa processing, the time frame within which you will get the visa, the application process, the cost of the actual visa, etc. This article will explain the associated costs, the visa’s processing time, and eligibility for the UK fast-track priority and super-priority visas from inside and outside the UK starting on September 23, 2022.
After five months of absence from UKVI (UK visas and immigration), UKVI again started the PV (priority visa) and SPV (super priority visa) services for new study visa applications to the UK. Before going any further let us understand what SPV (super priority visa) means.
Understanding Super Priority Visa
A Super Priority visa is an additional service provided by the UKVI to applicants with an earlier visa application response (Or) A super priority visa is a service where your application is processed within a minimum of 24 hours of working time or a maximum of just one week.
Processing time:
Usually, a student visa application takes around three to four weeks to process in the busiest month of august. However, with the help of priority visa services, any applicant can get the decision on their application within five working days
And with the help of the super priority visa service, every eligible applicant can get a decision in just one working day after their appointment with the visa application center. After the visa application and other documents have been confirmed, the visa immigration premium service center will inform applicants when their passport is ready to take.
Burden free:
SPV services save you weeks of worry whether your application is confirmed. Indian students and parents will be relieved and happy by the decision of choosing SPV services after experiencing difficulties with normal visa appointment scheduling, processing delays, and a lack of updates on the status of their applications in recent months. This service immediately provides you with your visa status but comes at a price. A super priority visa is an optional service, and it comes with an additional visa fee.
Costs of PV and SPV

Possibility of more processing time:
Under some conditions despite opting for a priority visa or a super priority visa, applicants need to wait for their visa acceptance. This might be due to the chance of any errors in the candidate’s application or due to any individual circumstances (such as criminal conviction) or if the candidate needs to attend an interview to pass the visa acceptance or if you need to provide some more information regarding your details you need to wait for some time. Under these kinds of situations, one’s visa processing time might change.
Biometric residence permit:
After 7 to10 to days of your decision, you will receive your BRP biometric residence permit at your given address in the application. Or if you want your biometric residence permit to be in another place then you need to update your address before your application is confirmed. But if you do not receive your biometric then you can report a missing BRP online.
