Submission and collection times

Submission:We are open to take visa applications from 08:00 to 16:00. Please note that submissions between 15:00 and 16:00 will be by appointment only. Please call or email if you wish to make an appointment

Passport collection: Passports can be collected on the next working day after submission, between 14:30 and 16:00, and any day and time thereafter. Or use our courier service to avoid having to come back to collect your passport

Submission and collection times during Ramadan:

Submission: 09:00 to 14:00 only

Passport collection:14:00 to 15:00 only from Saturday to Wednesday

Please Note: Passports are usually available for collection after 3 pm on the day following submission. But the UK Border Agency may take longer to deal with some visa applications, so we recommend that you confirm with us that your passport is back with us before you come to the visa application centre to collect. You can do this either by telephone or using our online tracking facility.

The visa application centre can get very crowded at peak collection time between 3 pm and 4.00 pm. If you want to avoid the crowds you will find it much quieter to collect your passport the next morning anytime from 8am onwards. Alternatively you can save a second visit to the visa application centre and use our courier return service. Please ask at the desk when you submit your application.
