Visa application processing time
You can expect a decision on your application within 3-5 days from the day you lodge your application. The processing time may take longer if the application was incomplete at the time of application or if there are other issues with your application such as character issues relating to previous immigration history or criminal convictions, child custody issues, or if further medical checks are required. If your application is likely to take longer than 5 days, you will be fully informed of the reason for any delays.
If you wish to discuss any matter face to face with an officer of the Visa and Immigration Office you need to telephone and make an appointment.
