How long before departure should I apply for the visa?

You can apply for the Australia visa well before departure. The visa is valid for one year, starting on the day it is issued. You do not have to book a flight or accommodation before you apply for the visa. Also, it is not necessary to submit any detailed information about the trip. Therefore, you are advised to submit your visa application multiple weeks before your departure.

Average delivery times of the Australia visa

On average, the visa is approved in 5 days. If you need the visa urgently, you can also submit an urgent application. Urgent applications are approved within 60 minutes in 95% of the cases. The average delivery time starts from the moment you upload a correct and neat passport scan.

Visa delivery times cannot be guaranteed

The average delivery times for the Australia visa are mentioned at the top of this page. It is important to note that these are not maximum delivery times. A maximum delivery term can never be guaranteed, not even for urgent applications. This is because Australia’s immigration service subjects about one in twenty applications to a random manual check. In those cases, the application is checked more extensively, and it takes longer before the visa is granted. In exceptional cases, it may even take multiple days.

If your application is selected for an additional check, it does not mean that the application is likely to be rejected. However, sometimes the immigration authorities request additional information or documents. Also, it is not unusual for only one application within a group application to be selected for a random check, while all other travellers have already received their visas.

Do you need your visa within 7 days? Then you can only apply with e-Visa.co.uk by choosing an urgent delivery. Keep in mind that there are extra costs involved, amounting to £17.50 per Australia visa.
