<p>UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has faced a number of pressures in the past two
years in respect of demand for visas. Visa routes have seen high demand following
the end of the pandemic, easing of travel restrictions and helping people forced to
flee their homes as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.</p><p>The visa waiting
times page on GOV.UK is updated regularly to help customers understand expected visa
processing times across all the main visa routes, and customers are encouraged to
apply early for their visa.</p><p>UKVI continues to speed up decision making by rolling
out better, more efficient technology, including digital interviewing and moving away
from a paper-based system. UKVI is also continuing to recruit more decision-making
staff.</p>
