How to Apply for a Subclass 101 Visa

Before applying for the subclass 101 visa application, the applicant must ensure that they hold a valid passport; if not, a valid passport should be acquired before applying for a visa.

The next step lies in the gathering of the relevant evidence. All the documentary proofs must be collected and analyzed for the Subclass 101 visa application requirements. The evidence should be complementary to the facts of the application for visa access. Get in touch with our 101 visa consultants/ immigration agents for further details on 101 visa processing and eligibility conditions.

Further, the applicant must ensure that they have not been rejected for access to Australia before. This might lead to the refusal of their subclass 101 visa application. Contact our 101 visa consultant or immigration agents for detailed information on visa processing and eligibility conditions.

The duly filled and complete visa application should be filed with the Department along with the requisite fees. In case the prices are not paid in full, the visa application might not be considered at all.

The applicant must be outside Australia when the visa application is filed, and the decision is made as subclass 101 is an offshore visa. If the child is in Australia, the subclass 802 (onshore) visa application must be filed. Talk to our 101 visa consultant or immigration agents for the accurate filing of all the application information. Our specialized 101 visa consultants/ immigration agents are trained to counsel the client and provide all the assistance required to ensure they meet the visa (eligibility) conditions.

After filing the visa application successfully, the Department informs the applicant that their application assessment is in place. The Department communicates the decision on the visa application at the registered mail of the applicants. The rationale behind rejection is also shared with the applicant (in case of rejection).

Processing Time for a Subclass 101 Visa

The usual processing time for the 101 visa application is about

2-2.5 years for 75% of the application form (approximately).
3 years for 90% of the application form (approximately).

Each form’s processing time differs depending upon the individual’s profile and eligibility conditions of the visa category.
