Global Visa processing times will be updated monthly 

DHA will display four processing times in calendar days to show how long it is taking to finalize 25, 50, 75 and 90 per cent of applicants submitted globally 

Processing times are impacted each month by: 

  • changes in application volumes 

  • seasonal peaks 

  • complex cases 

  • incomplete applications, and 

  • changes to Ministerial Directions. 

Processing times include applications lodged online and by paper.
