[holding answer 4 September 2013]: Visa applications are considered by entry clearance officers in Nairobi. If the applicant considers their visa application to be urgent, they are able to apply for the premium service to expedite consideration. Otherwise all applications are considered in line with our published customer service standards. Since 1 July 2013 Tanzanian visit visa applicants have been able to use a priority visa service (PVS). The PVS is available to applicants who pay an additional fee to have their visa application placed at the front of the queue. PVS applications are usually decided within three to five working days. The current customer service targets for visit visa applications are to process 90% of non-settlement applications within 15 working days, 98% within 30 working days and 100% within 60 working days of the application date. Between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013, 4,242 visit visa applications were made by Tanzanian nationals at the visa application centre in the high commission in Dar es Salaam. 86% of these applications were processed within 15 working days, 100% were processed within 30 working days. On average, a visit visa application made by a Tanzanian national at the visa application centre in the high commission in Dar es Salaam took 8.8 working days to be processed between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013.
