IMPORTANT: Please apply for your visa well in advance of travel and you need to provide English Translations of supporting documents not in English.

 

Check [your application] twice, submit [your application] once

To help us process your application faster, there are things you can do to make sure that when you submit your visa application it is ‘decision ready’.  For further information about this, see  Check twice, submit once (homeaffairs.gov.au)

Note - If any of your supporting documentation is not in English, you will need to include a translation in English, as well as a copy of the original document. Each translated document must include (in English) the translator’s:

  • full name, address and telephone number; and
  • qualifications and experience in the language they are translating.

We recommend that you lodge your application early and you book your flight only after your visa has been granted. The Australian Government does not accept any responsibility or liability for financial losses related to the booking of flights and accommodation, which are incurred by applicants whose visa application was finalised later than expected or whose application was ultimately unsuccessful. Please check the current Global visa processing times (homeaffairs.gov.au) and ensure you leave sufficient time for processing of your application. 

 

Travel to Australia during peak holiday seasons

If you are planning to visit Australia during the holiday periods, we encourage you to apply as early as possible and submit complete applications, including English translations of documents not issued in English.

For further information on how to lodge a complete application for a visitor visa. See Applying for a visitor visa at Check twice, submit once (homeaffairs.gov.au)
