UK Student visa processing time is mentioned below-

• Applying from India- 3–8 weeks on average. UKVI aims to process most applications within 3 weeks.

• Priority service- Available at select VFS centres for faster processing (additional fee applies).

• Super priority service- Next working day decision in some cases (very limited availability).

We recommend applying for your visa at least 6–8 weeks before your course start date to allow sufficient processing time.
