Emergency appointment requests
Consular posts may consider urgent, unforeseen circumstances such as a medical emergency or funeral. Follow the local request procedure and prepare evidence of the circumstances.
Other authorised expedited options
A limited expedited appointment pilot at selected posts is scheduled through 31 December 2026. Check the official notice for current participation, eligibility, fees and availability.
Keep appointment and visa decisions separate
An expedited interview does not guarantee a visa. Do not rely on a promised slot or approval from a third party.
