Australian Government information on COVID-19 travel restrictions and Visa Processing Times

Due to the existing COVID-19 pandemic situation across the world, the visa processing times have been impacted and therefore the applications that are already been submitted could take longer to get finalized. However, it should be noted that the processing times are not been updated and informed yet for all the subclasses of visa. The Department of Home Affairs is given priority especially to the processing of those visa applications that are for the travelers that are being exempt from the travel restrictions and to assist those that have raised the request of urgent travel.

491 Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa or Subclass 491 Visa: Between 76 to 85 days

189 Skilled Independent or Subclass 189 Visa: Between 9 to 14 months

485 Temporary Graduate or Graduate Work: Between 3 to 4 months
