e-visa application (O Visa for over 50s) -How fast ?

[jaizan]

Ref: O-visa eVisa application

 

I have 2 questions about this.

1   After uploading the files needed, as per my list below, the next option is submit.   I presume we see a payment page & no further questions ?

 

2   How long is it actually taking to process these eVisas ?        Some websites suggest a few hours and that applications should allow at least 5 working days.    I would like to know how long people find it actually took.  (Then I will add a safety margin)

How long it takes for final approval depends upon the embassy or official consulate your application is submitted to.

Within 5 working days is about right.

The entire process ifs much quicker than before since the stickerless visa started on September 27th.

If applying at a embassy or official consulate in the country your a citizen of that is enough.

If not you need proof of legal residency in the country where you apply at.

I assume this is in an Aussie bank account ? As you are applying for this IN Australia.

You assume correctly. It can be the equivalent of 800k baht in Australian dollars in a bank.
