The 1,000th super priority visa to the UK was processed on Wednesday after the service launched in the UAE in March.
The 1,000th applicant, who was in Dubai, received a five-year multi-entry visit visa.
The service offers 24-hour visa processing and most applicants receive their passports back on the same day, the British Embassy said.
The super priority service costs £600 (Dh3,441) in addition to the visa fee.
It is open to any GCC resident applying for a visit visa to the UK in the UAE and can be used to apply for a long-term, multi-entry visa valid for up to 10 years.
