Urgent visa application for Australia
If you will be travelling to Australia at short notice and you haven't applied for your visa yet, you'd better submit an urgent application. In most cases, you will receive your visa in less than 60 minutes. Be aware that delivery times can never be guaranteed, even if you submit an urgent application.
Swift and simple procedure
Applications for the eVisitor visa for Australia are typically processed within a few days. The application procedure is entirely online, meaning that there is no need to visit the australian embassy or any other office in person to hand over your passport. You only need to provide a digital scan or photo of your passport. You can easily do this from home using your computer, mobile phone, or tablet.
If your visa is approved, you will receive an email confirmation, and you will be able to download your visa yourself. As soon as you receive this confirmation, you will be able to check in for your flight to Australia. Print your visa, or save it on your phone or tablet, so you can show it when checking in for your flight, and at border control when you arrive in Australia.
Urgent visa for Australia
The average delivery time to process an eVisitor visa application is approximately 5 working days. Travellers flying to Australia in less than a week should better submit an urgent application. This can be done by ticking the ‘urgent application’ box on the application form. The application will then be processed with priority by Australia Travel Visa's specialists, who will check if the application contains a series of frequent mistakes. They will also check the required passport scan, even during out of office hours, at weekends, and on public holidays. Urgent applications are subject to a surcharge of £17,50.
Urgent applications are submitted with high priority to the Australian immigration services. This way, it is possible to obtain a visa quicker, sometimes even in less than 60 minutes. However, it can happen that an urgent application is held for longer than usual, for example due to technical problems, or if the Australian authorities carry out a random check of applications. Apply for your visa well in advance, if possible several weeks before your trip, and you will avoid this kind of problems. You can apply for your visa before you book your flight or accommodation.

Random checks in Australia
Around 95 % of urgent applications are approved within 60 minutes. Most applications are quickly approved by the Australian authorities' automated system. 1 in 20 applications, however, is kept on hold for longer, so that the Australian authorities can carry out a series of random checks. These applications are checked in depth by an immigration officer. This does not mean that the application has more chances to be refused. However, it will remain a couple of days longer awaiting approval.
Urgent applications can also be selected for a random check. This means that the 60-minute delivery time is an average time, and never a maximum time. If an urgent eVisitor visa application is pending for a longer period of time, you don't need to submit a second application for the same type of visa. The second application would be immediately rejected, as the immigration service can see that there is already another visa application in the name of the same traveller. However, a good idea could be to apply for a different type of visa for Australia, instead. Contact Australiatravelvisa for more information about this.
