The basic process
Create an ImmiAccount on the official government website, select visa 417, answer the questions yourself and keep copies of every upload, receipt and grant letter.
- ✓Clear valid passport
- ✓Financial or health evidence if requested
- ✓Regularly checked email
- ✓Copies of submitted documents
How long does it take?
Some applications are quick; others need further checks. Home Affairs’ global guide is indicative and changes. Do not buy a non-flexible flight before the visa is granted.
- ✓Apply with time to spare
- ✓Respond promptly to requests
- ✓A friend’s fast result is not a guarantee
