Visa processing times depend on the type of visa and who is applying. Generally, Subclass 189 and 190 visas take around 6 to 9 months, while Employer-Sponsored visas like Subclass 482 usually take 2 to 3 months. Delays can happen if documents are incomplete, there is a high demand, or extra checks are needed. Getting ready early, like doing English tests and skills assessments, can help speed things up.
