wow that’s slow for a 60 day tourist visa. I got a 1 year business/tourist visa for Australia in one day
Tony *******
Yes a few years back they were processed within a week, I guess they made the staff redundant when they changed the visa rules to exemption of 60 days.

Joe Tottman Photograph taken within the last six months: a biometric passport photo with a white background from a professional photo studio whose digital file you upload directly to the system (no scan). This ensures that the requirements for the photo are met....This is the answer from Visa
Dooren ********
Joe Tottman I had to have the photo shop send it to my email address as a digital PDF, and then upload it from my email account for the visa application. Only then was it accepted.

I applied 90 day visa 17th Sept...2 weeks later they asked me better photo and another proof of flights...it then took 4 weeks before approved. Yes stressful but if they not asked additional documents, it will come.

OPAndy Smith I thought I’d messed up I only sent one month bank statement not realising you are supposed to send last 3 months, was expecting a further document request, so bit surprised they never asked for one ,but you are right it is stressful

José ********
Fadoua Amrabat ik , vertrek 14 februari 2027 vraag me serieus af hoelang van te voren ik het TR visa voor 60 dagen aan moet gaan vragen 🤗
Fadoua *********
José Flippo nou ik heb het voor mn partner aangevraagd. Die heeft een Marokkaanse paspoort. Ik vertrek 28 november wist hier niet van, blijkbaar hebben de dit eind september doorgevoerd. Ze zeggen zelf duurt 30 dagen hou rekening mee dat je ook extra documenten moet aanleveren en langer duurt. En als je te vroeg indient dan geld je visum direct hij uitgifte…

Sadly received word today to resubmit first my photo - not a photo of a photo. The one I submitted was one taken at the Post Office a couple of weeks ago for my International Driving Licence. Second the copy of my passport as again it was a copy of a copy and the biometrics were not clear. I'm glad I submitted the application early for my return next January.

3 weeks for me
