In an attempt to make the country more attractive to big spenders from overseas, Prime Minister David Cameron reveals that he aims to expand Britain’s 24-hour visa service for wealthy visitors
The service, which costs £600 per application on top of the standard visa fee, is already available in China and India and ensures a decision on a visa application within 24 hours. Britain receives more than 100 priority applications each month so far, from China and about 60 per month from India.
