How long will it take to process my application?

Processing times are difficult to predict. They vary depending on the type of application you submit and the number of applications currently being processed.

Please note that processing times change depending on the number of applications received and may change during the processing of your application. You can consult the processing times tables for details. This section is updated regularly, so check often to get the latest information.
