UKBA have announced that the biometric enrolment centres in Australia and New Zealand will close on 23 December 2011 for Christmas and New Year holidays, and reopen on 4 January 2012. 

The visa processing hub in Manila will also be closed between these dates and therefore visas will not be processed during this period.

We strongly encourage our clients to submit all Australia/New Zealand visa applications as soon as possible, if they intend to travel in December or January. 

UKBA aims to process all non-settlement visa applications within 15 working days.
