The Priority Postal route is an alternative to the Premium and Postal routes. The Priority Postal route is only open to Tier 2 and Tier 4 applications.
The aim behind the Priority Postal service is to drastically cut the waiting times that had typically been a feature of the Home Office’s regular Postal service. Priority Postal applications should be decided within 10 working days from receipt of the application. This time frame represents a vast improvement on regular Postal applications.
