英国境内续签方式

众所周知，在国内申请英国入境许可只有一种方式，即申请人携带申请材料选择附件的签证中心递交申请，主要包括递交申请材料、采集指纹、视频面试三个环节。然而，在英国申请续签的方式和在国内申请英国入境许可的方式有所不同，主要分为如下三种：
1.       Standard Service 目前签证费448英镑，受理签证申请大概需要8周时间；
2.       Priority Service目前签证费823英镑，受理签证申请大概需要10天时间；
3.       Premium Service目前签证费948英镑，递交签证申请当日即可得知签证结果；
 
申请Standard or Premium Service的申请人直接填写在线申请表格、支付相应签证申请费并预约时间即可；如申请Priority Service, 需要先填写一个Request Form并通过邮件发至规定的邮箱，只有周一至周五早上8:30之后收到的最早的60个申请才会被接受，如果申请成功，官方会通过邮件形式告知申请人并按照要求提交申请表格并支付签证费用。在英国境内申请续签的申请人也有指纹和图像采集环节，选择Standard or Priority Service的申请人可以去有相关服务的邮局办理，同时缴纳19.2英镑的费用；选择Premium Service的申请人可以在Premium service centre进行指纹及图像采集。
