What are the differences between different types of visa centers?

Post by hairen » Fri May 21, 2021 2:57 pm

Core Service Point

Enhanced Service Point

What is the difference between these two visa centers? Is there any convenience, speed, and simplicity in Core Service Point?

Thank you

Service point types
There are three different types of UKVCAS service points, which offer different locations, facilities and comfort. All offer standard, out of hours, next day and same day appointments:

* core service points are larger locations that offer both free of charge appointments and out of hours appointments bookable for a fee

* enhanced service points offer an inclusive package of extra services, such as document checking in advance of your appointment and document digitisation at the service point

* premium lounge that offers a personalised customer experience

Are you applying for naturalisation?
Services offered are described on the UKVCAS website. However, for naturalisation, most applicants upload documents by themselves (free) and just have their biometrics appointments (free or chargeable). Some applicants choose document scanning and checking service (chargeable) but note that UKVCAS staff are not UKVI staff and cannot give advice on the requirements themselves.
There are no premium/fast service available for naturalisation - processing timings vary between 2 months and 6 months, or sometimes longer, plus waiting time for the ceremony at your council.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
