BNO Visa Processing Time

Hi there,

I am an international student from Hong Kong who needs a student visa to study in the U.K. However, I am not able to start the application processing as I am still waiting for the CAS. Wrote to the U and have been told that they will issue the CAS in these few week. It is already August and the student visa processing time is 3 weeks in Hong Kong. I am scared that I may not obtain my stduent visa on time as there may be unexpected typing mistakes in the CAS.

On the other hand, I am eligible to apply for BNO Visa right away (I was born after 1997 and my parents hold BNO passports). I wonder if someone here who made his/her BNO Visa application recently (say July 2023) can share their applcation experience, particularly about how fast the BNO Visa was issued.

Thank you.

Jasmine

Hello, I am in the same position as you right now for 2024 entry. Did you end up applying for BNO Visa? And if so, how long did it take for them to approve your application? I am four weeks until uni and I was wondering whether or not I should apply for BNO visa instead of student visa
