Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

EASE pre-registration should be completed well ahead of travel; the government advises registering several days before arrival. Consular visa processing times vary by embassy and visa type.

Residence permit and Green Card processing times are not published on the DEF overview pages. Apply early and confirm current timelines directly with the DEF or the relevant consulate.

Plan ahead

  • Complete EASE pre-registration before your flight, following the advised lead time
  • Allow extra time for consular visa processing
  • Expect residence permit and Green Card decisions to take longer and confirm timelines with the DEF
