<p>The UK government continue to support British nationals with relatives impacted
by the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. Where family members do not have
a current UK visa, they can apply online via one of our standard visa routes, which
remain available, and biometrics can be submitted at the nearest Visa Application
Centre (VAC).</p><p> </p><p>UKVI will aim to process any compassionate cases as quickly
as possible in line with current guidance.</p><p> </p><p>Should individual circumstances
require a quicker decision, customers should flag this with visa application centre
staff when submitting their biometrics and UKVI will consider this as part of their
wider application.</p><p> </p><p>If customers have an existing visa application and
have been impacted by the earthquake, then they should please contact the UKVI Contact
