just a couple more days or even hours because the change in the wording suggests that the document check is finished and your application only needs the approval from somebody higher up

I applied for a Non O Sep 9th in Sydney. Got the visa on the plane Monday heading to BKK. There was an error with online check in and had to book an exit flight to KL to show the airline departing Sydney. Some are getting theirs on the day of flight, some the day after, no guarantee it will come before you land so be prepared for backup plan.

It really depends on the embassy / consulate you have applied, normally within a week if you have submitted all the documents as required

That depends on what kind of tourist applied for at which embassy or consulate and your resident or citizenship status in that region
