Visa Procedure

The visa decision is made at the Australian Embassy in Ankara. In many cases, it is not necessary to go to the embassy in person. However, in very rare cases, depending on the complexity of the case, the consul may invite the applicant to the embassy in Ankara for a personal interview.
First, an account is created on the online visa platform, after entering the account, the appropriate visa type is selected, the application form is filled out online, and based on the answers given in the application form, a list of required documents is finally displayed. The scanned version of those required documents must be uploaded to the system.

The visa fee is 145 AUD (approx. 95 USD). The answer is usually 21-35 days.
Probability of getting an Australian Visa
Just as when applying for a visa at the embassy of any country, your chance of getting a visa in Australia depends on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position are normal and good, your monthly income is higher than the standard salary range (in experience, visas have been obtained for people with a monthly income in the range of 700-800 AZN, there have been many cases), you have enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country Availability (property in your name, family and children) and a good travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting an Australian visa. Applying for an Australian visa is considered relatively risky for individuals with no prior travel history, i.e. no Schengen, UK, US or other visa holders. If the other aspects of your profile (listed above) are very high and in good standing, you may have a chance to get an Australian visa even if you have no travel history.
