What is the minimum UK visa processing time if I have to apply very urgently? [closed]

I have to apply for a Tier 4 visa (UK) from Pakistan. The program start date on my CAS letter is July 17th 2018. Because of some reason I will submit the visa application on 1st July.

Will I get the visa decision from the consulate in 2 weeks, or can I apply for a UK visa two weeks before the travel date?

Best Answer

Tier 4 (General) student visa

You’ll usually get a decision on your visa within 3 weeks. You can check visa processing times for your country.

The processing times search for Karachi for Points Based System Visas suggests a minimum time of 5 days, but only for a small percent of the applications. The vast majority take 10-15 days.

Note: the processing times tool is in beta and, while the Tier 4 guidance links to it, the only PBS option is Tier 2. Karachi was selected as an example; Lahore and Mirpur can also be chosen.
