I previously overstayed a visa in Australia and for which I received a 3 year ban. The ban period has ended.
I have applied for and been granted an ETA visa. The visa took 4 days for its approval. Normally an ETA is instantaneous. What could be the reason for it to take so long?
Best Answer
The previous ban would have flagged your application up for human review, which obviously isn't going to be instant and depending on the current amount of applications, could take quite a while.
Other reasons could include Technical Problems or another Technical Reason.
