Processing Times
How long decisions take for e-Visas and for residence permits, including expedited options.
Important
E-Visa decisions are typically returned by email within a number of working days, though the exact timeframe depends on the visa type and the volume of applications. Applicants are advised to apply well ahead of travel.
Residence permits are issued by the Public Service Development Agency within a statutory period after submission, with an expedited service available for an additional fee. Plan for extra time to gather and legalise supporting documents, especially for long-term applications.
