After the embassy decides
The visa centre tells you when your passport is ready to collect. If the visa is refused, message us and we'll go through the letter with you.
Decisions usually come within 15 calendar days of your appointment, and can take up to 45 in busy periods. The visa centre tells you when your passport is ready to collect or be delivered.
Check the visa in your passport: your name, the dates it's valid and the number of days allowed.
If your visa is refused, the refusal letter gives the reason. Message us and you can review the reasons given by the embassy and consult the official visa centre or qualified adviser about your options. See visa refusals and refunds.
