<p>By working with TLS, the commercial partner, we are continuing to provide access
to Visa Application Centres (VAC) throughout Turkey. Adana VAC increased its opening
days from 3 to 5 days a week to meet demand closest to the earthquake area. There
are also VACs in Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Istanbul, and Izmir, many of which continue
to provide 5 day a week capacity for those looking to apply for a UK visa under one
of our current visit, family, work and study routes and enable those who have already
applied to submit their biometrics.</p><p>UKVI will aim to process any compassionate
cases as quickly as possible in line with current guidance.</p><p>Should individual
circumstances require a quicker decision, applicants should raise this with visa application
centre staff when submitting their biometrics and UKVI will consider this as part
of their wider application.</p><p>If applicants have an existing visa application
and have been impacted by the earthquake, then they should please contact the UKVI
