Check Your Visa Processing Times Online

Home Affairs publishes a visa processing times guide to give applicants an indication of how long their visa application may take to be processed. The timeframes are based on how long it has recently taken to process similar applications that have been decided. To use the tool, you'll need to select your visa type, visa stream, and application date. Keep in mind that these are estimates only - Home Affairs does not guarantee that your application will be decided within the stated timeframe. Your specific circumstances may mean your application takes longer or shorter than the estimated time. The tool shows processing times only for visa types that have this information available. You can access the processing times guide on the Home Affairs website to check an estimate for your visa application.
