Important

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

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration does not publish standard visa processing times on its website. Applicants are advised to submit complete applications well ahead of travel and to contact the Visa Officer for current timeframes.

Published passport processing tiers (1, 3, 5 and 10-day options) apply to I-Kiribati passport applications, not to visa decisions, and should not be read across to visas.
