What is the expected processing time for a Non-O retirement visa application at the Canberra Embassy in Australia?
I am applying in Australia online Canberra Embassy for Non O retirement visa, paid it, been almost 2 weeks and no response yet. Taking a lot longer this time. Maybe high season coming ?

l was very surprised when it arrived so quick. l have been several times before but only on visa on arrival and have a clean police record, but l believe the fact l had a flight booked so close to applying may have helped....Ron ******
If your application status says pending approval you should be fine. Just be patient!

Hi Ralph. I recently did mine same location took 18 days. It moved really fast through document check and then sat at pending approval for nearly 2 weeks.If you email the general enquiries email address from the website you may get a response.

The processing time stated on the website is 10 business days; however, this is merely an estimate. You may wish to wait a little longer and contact them if you have not yet received any update by email.
