Priority Visa Service
From May 7 2012 the UK Border Agency in Indonesia will offer a priority visa service to certain categories of applicants who meet the set criteria and who pay an additional fee at the time they make their visa application. These applications will be processed ahead of other visa applications. Under normal circumstances a priority service visa application will be processed within 3 working days. The cost of this service will be IDR 930,000 per applicant.
Applicants who meet the following criteria will be eligible for the service:-
| 1) |
Business visitors who have previously travelled in the last 5 years to: UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Schengen countries. Spouses and children accompanying the business visitor, regardless of previous travel, will also be accepted provided they also pay the appropriate priority service fee.
Applicants under this criterion must have complied with the terms of their entry conditions whilst travelling to the aforementioned countries. If an applicant has been refused by one of these countries following their most recent travel, they will not qualify for the priority service. |
| 2) |
Employees of companies who are members of the UK Border Agency’s Business Select Scheme in Indonesia travelling on business regardless of previous travel history. Spouses and children accompanying the business visitor, regardless of previous travel, will also be accepted provided they also pay the appropriate priority service fee. The company should submit a standard letter of support with the application. |
| 3) |
Seafarers applying to join a cruise ship in the UK. Applicants must hold a Seafarers Identity Document (Seaman’s Book). |
Important Notes
It is strongly recommended that applicants with any form of adverse immigration history do not use this service.
The service does not imply or guarantee in any way that applicants using the priority service will be successful in their visa application. All visa applicants must meet the requirements of the UK immigration rules. Neither the amount paid for the priority service, nor the visa application fee, is refundable if the visa application is refused or in exceptional cases, takes longer than 3 working days to process.
