Anybody ever apply UK visa from Singapore? Understand from the website it takes up to 15 working days. Now i'm wondering if anybody can get it faster than that or not.
Thanks
I'm not a singapore passport holder hence need one
Can you be a bit more precise? So which passport do you hold?
Hmmm they need a visa nowadays? Back in 93-98 they didn't require one for Singapore passport holders. Suppose things have changed now.

Serious?? Can u help me to check with him/her if the 2 weeks only for the approving part or inclusive the ready-for-collection?
This UK visa apparently dont have approving party here in Singapore. I heard it has to be mailed to Manila for the high commission embassy approval.
That explains why businessmen in corrupt countries simply love their corrupt officials. They just have to pay money and things are done instantly. They pass on these "admin" costs to their consumers. If they don't pay money then it takes forever or is impossible.
It is so ingrained that if you remove corruption from those countries, their entire system will collapse and cease to function.
The Whole SEA send to UK embassy in Manila to approve and then send back to various applicants in SEA countries?
Really? Wow. Someone purposely slow down the process. This in the age of Internet? Something is not right.
Some one in the UK govt has engineered this so that he can take bribes.
Why can't this be done in the British embassy in SG, if application is made here?

lol ricohflex... take a deep breath and relax... think happy thoughts...
from my understanding, because of the economic situation in the UK they've consolidated visa processing to countries with cheaper labor.
90 per cent of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98 per cent within 6 weeks and 100 per cent within 12 weeks of the application date;
and 95 per cent of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the application date and 100 per cent within 24 weeks of the application date.
