Student Visa Processing Time
How long does it take to process a student visa?
The processing time varies from case to case depending on personal circumstances, which visa subclass you are applying for and the quality of your supporting documentation.
If submitting an electronic application, then a decision usually occurs within 24 hours.
If applying through your local Australian Embassy or Consular Office, then it may take several weeks.
