UK Direct Airside Transit Visa processing time
I am a Sri Lankan who lives in Hong Kong. I am travelling to France via UK. I have an airside transit. So DATV is required.
I am having a doubt in processing time of Direct Airside Transit Visa from the British Consulate for the following scenario:
The UKBA site says that 100% (!) of transit visa applications in Hong Kong are processed within 5 days.
And also it says that 100% (!) of transit visa applications in Sri Lanka are processed within 40 days.
Does anyone have an idea which time range is applicable for me (Sri Lankan who lives in Hong Kong) please?
Because for the moment I have only one month time period remaining.

To me this information is pretty clear. It just depends on where you apply.
- Up to 5 days if you apply in Hong Kong.
- Up to 40 days if you apply in Sri Lanka.
Assuming that you are in Hong Kong now, you should obviously apply from there.
