How long have people been waiting for DTV to be accepted when applying from Australia?
Answer summary
The wait times for DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) applications from Australia vary widely among applicants, with reported experiences ranging from as little as 2 weeks to up to 2 months. A few mentioned current processing times of around 4.5 weeks, with the Canberra Embassy indicating that e-visa processing typically takes at least 10 business days, potentially extending to 4-6 weeks in some cases. Overall, it appears that submitting applications closer to the intended travel date may lead to longer waits, particularly due to a backlog at the Sydney Embassy.

Mine took 5 weeks. The Sydney Embassy has over 1000 applications due to the new policy changes with returning to home country. Message them by email or on Line for an update.

Hi mate. When did you apply? I am almost at the 5 week mark now, so am trying to guess my timing based on your 5 week experience. Thanks in advance!

It seems if you do it early and get organised you just end up waiting.

Use search including the name of Embassy in your resident country.

3. Sentence ot the visapages of Canberra Embassy:

· E-Visa processing time is at least 10 business days. However, it may take up to 4-6 weeks for some cases.

To ensure a smooth travel experience, we recommend applying for your visa approximately one month before your departure date.

“Pending document check” does not tell anything usable about the application.
