Application processing times for Adelaide

Various factors can affect the time it takes for the Department of Home Affairs to consider your visa application, including your visa subclass, the number of other applications in progress, and the quality of evidence you submit. Delays can also occur, for example, if the Department requires further evidence to support your application.

While little can be done to fast-track your application, we can prevent delays by thoroughly reviewing your application before submission and ensuring that the application is completed and has adequate evidence to meet the legal requirements.

Adelaide location image

Adelaide’s vibrant migration history

Adelaide's migration history is marked by various waves of settlement and diversity. The region was initially home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before European settlement began in 1836. The city was founded as a planned British colony, attracting a mix of free settlers, convicts, and migrants seeking new opportunities. During the gold rush era in the mid-19th century, Adelaide experienced an influx of migrants from around the world, and post-war migration welcomed waves of immigrants from Europe and Asia, enriching the city's cultural landscape. 

Today, Adelaide continues to welcome Australian migrants, with a diverse population that contributes to its vibrant and inclusive society.
