This is the question visa applicants ask most — Timing to allow: Translation + certification 1–3 business days · MFA legalisation 3–5 business days (express 1–2) · full chain including embassy 5–10 business days. Add another 3–5 business days when dependants are included or many certificates are involved, since each one repeats the same certification chain and some embassies require a pre-booked lodgement appointment. Bundle with a police clearance certificate and NAATI certified translation in one file to save weeks.
