To help us process your application faster, there are things you can do to make sure your visa application is ‘decision ready’. For further, see Check twice, submit once (homeaffairs.gov.au). In most cases, we make a decision using the information provided when an application is lodged and we may not ask for more information.
You should identify all applicants who are travelling together by selecting the ‘Group processing’ option. For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions on Group Lodgement.
You can check current Global Visa Processing Times on our website. Processing times are impacted by changes in application volumes, seasonal peaks, complex cases, and incomplete applications.
