Our service has three options with target processing times: Standard (within 24 hours), Rush (2–3 hours) and Super Rush (15–20 minutes). You choose one option for the application before you pay. These are targets, not guarantees of completion or of any outcome.
Keep your travel information up to date. If your dates or plans change, review your prepared details again before using them. The planned service is designed to let you request an update before onward submission; support contact details will be published when that service is available.

Travellers subject to MDAC requirements should prepare an MDAC for land and sea arrivals as well as arrivals by air. Whether it applies to you depends on your circumstances, so check the requirements for your own journey, including your mode of transport.
