What are the processing times and fees for the Australian e-visa?

When applying for an Australian e-Visa, applicants are generally required to pay two types of fees: the Government fee and the Service fee. The total cost depends on the visa type selected and the processing option you choose.

Standard processing time

Under normal circumstances, an Australian e-Visa application is processed in approximately 3 business days. However, actual processing times may vary depending on the visa category, the accuracy of the application, and the volume of applications being handled by Australia Visa Services.

To help avoid travel disruptions, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications well in advance of their planned departure date.

Expedited processing options

If you need your visa more quickly, faster processing services may be available for an additional fee:

Standard Processing: Approximately 3 business days.
Urgent Processing: Processed within 24 working hours.
Super-Urgent Processing: Processed within 5 working hours for eligible applications.

Applicants with urgent travel plans may also consider a Rush Visa service, where available. Additional service fees apply for expedited processing.

How can you pay the visa fees?

Applicants can choose from several convenient payment methods, including:

Online payment using major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
PayPal for secure online transactions.
Wire transfer via the Bank of Cyprus, where applicable.

Processing times are estimates and may be affected by factors such as incomplete applications, requests for additional documentation, or peak travel periods. Selecting an expedited service does not guarantee visa approval; it only prioritizes the processing of your application.
