We recommend starting your application around 2 months before your appointment date.This gives you enough time to obtain documents such as your ACRO Police Certificate, medical certificate, apostilles, sworn translations, and any other supporting paperwork before submitting your application.It's also important to remember that most supporting documents are only valid for three months, so starting too early can mean some documents expire before your appointment.

Standard service takes about 6–8 weeks, while Fast Track service delivers in 10–12 business days.

Consulates have up to 3 months to process applications. Typical timelines are: Edinburgh (4–5 weeks), London (6–8 weeks), and Manchester (8–14 weeks). Processing times vary by individual circumstances.
