The processing time for a 482 dependent visa varies depending on individual circumstances, the accuracy of documentation, and the Department of Home Affairs' workload. Since March 2025, the processing times for the 482 visa have shifted notably. For both the short-term and medium-term streams, 50% of applications are now finalized within 69 days, while 90% are processed within seven months. The Labour Agreement stream follows a slightly different pattern, with half of the applications decided in around 76 days, and 90% completed within six months. These figures act as general benchmarks only—your actual processing time may differ depending on factors such as application accuracy, supporting documents, and case complexity.
At ISA Migrations, experienced consultants assist with preparing documents, meeting eligibility, and tracking application status. With professional guidance, dependent applicants can reunite with their loved ones in Australia sooner and enjoy the benefits of working or studying while supporting the primary 482 visa holder.
