The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) prioritize urgent licence applications including those which concern humanitarian issues and basic personal needs, or where there is a severely detrimental impact such as a threat to life. As every licence application is unique, OFSI take a tailored approach to cases, and there is no standard processing time.
