UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) have announced that priority visa services, including regular priority and super priority, have been temporarily suspended for all applications outside of the UK in order to prioritise applications for the Ukraine Family Scheme amid the war in Ukraine.

The temporary suspension applies to applications for study visas, family visas and work visas. This includes common UK visas such as the Skilled Worker Visa and Spouse Visa.

UKVI has not yet confirmed how long the suspension of priority processing services will last for.
