Fast-track
Service - Priority Consideration
From 5
December 2016, clients in India applying for a
Subclass 600 Visitor visas (in both the Tourist
and Business Streams) at one of our AVACs in
India, who meet the criteria below will be able
to access an optional fast track priority
service, subject to paying an additional fee of
AUD1000 (AUD to be converted in INR).
The
majority of Priority Service applications will
be finalised within 48 hours of being received
by the Australian High Commission. However, all
applicants must meet the legal requirements set
out in migration legislation for the grant of a
visitor visa, including the requirement that
applicants undertake and meet relevant health,
character and security checks. If further
information is required in relation to an
application, then it may not be finalised within
48 hours.
n
Note that
the Department of Home Affairs does not
recommend this service for applicants who have
known health or character issues which will
require further assessment, or an adverse
immigration history.
Applicants
should note that there is no guarantee that the
visa application will be finalised within 48
hours, and that the Priority Service fee is not
refundable in the event of a delay – whatever
the reason – or if the visa application is
refused.
Applicants
are strongly encouraged to carefully consider
their personal circumstances before engaging the
Priority Service.
Applicants
requesting urgent processing for compelling and
compassionate grounds will be subject to normal
priority consideration, and will not be required
to pay the priority service fee.
