For all other countries processing time is 31 days (75% of applications), and 4 months (90% of applications). Applications for high risk countries, i.e. not ETA, are routinely processed manually rather than via 'autogrant' and they are subject to additional documents prior to arrival, which is typical for a proper visa.
