Australia eVisitor processing times
Apply well before your intended departure. The Australian Department of Home Affairs decides your application and the time needed can vary.
No guaranteed approval time
How long does a decision take?
There is no guaranteed processing time for an individual eVisitor application. Current government processing-time estimates are a guide, not a promise that your application will be decided within a particular period.
Some applications require further checks or information. Do not rely on another traveler's experience as a deadline for your own decision.
What can cause delays?
Incomplete answers, incorrect passport details, missing documents, or additional health and character checks can affect processing.
If more information is requested, respond promptly with complete and accurate documents. Check your email, including your spam folder, for application correspondence.
Plan travel around the decision
Wait for your visa grant before making travel arrangements you cannot change. A submitted application or payment receipt is not a visa and does not authorise travel.
You must remain outside Australia until your eVisitor is granted. Read the grant notification carefully before departure.
Assistance does not speed up government checks
Our private application assistance service is separate from the Australian Government's decision-making process. Paying a service fee does not guarantee faster processing or visa approval.
If you have a question about our assistance service, contact support. Only the Australian Government can decide whether to grant your visa.
