Hi,

Do you know how many days CHC, London takes to return the passport after stamping. I have sent a self addressed envelop along with a pre-paid airway bill of DHL. Do you think my passports will be returned to Kuwait by my DHL airway bill or do they send it only by Royal post.

I can tell you thru experience that it takes approximately 10 working days excluding the courier delivery times.
They send passports back thru a local british courier service (I do not remember the name).

Thank you for your immediate reply. I really appreciate it.

They say it takes 10 working days once they receive the passports. However i had a bad experience with the london office. It took mine almost 35 days. Working in Bahrain, with the US invasion on Iraq looming it was quite a tense month for me without my passport. the wait was so frustrating that i had to request them (thru fax) to return my passport with or without the visa ASAP, which they did. I ultimately got it done thru their office in Abu Dhabi......took only 5 days to get the stamped passport back .......MY ADVISE :- if ur in the middle east opt for their Abu Dhabi office.

I am quite tensed reading your experience, because my passport was received by CHC, London on June 11th and I have made plans to travel on 13th July. I hope the passports will be returned before that.

Hi there, could u please tell me about the passports u sent to London for visa stamping. how many days did it take them to return it back? and I asked DHL In India to send the passports but they refused to accept as it is against the law. so I have sent the passports by regular mail with a self addressed envelope and not a prepaid one.

Does CHC in UK send the passports by regular mail or courier?

I know that it takes ten working days but its 25 days now and I am quite worried about that.
