When to apply
We recommend applying for your family’s passes once your pass gets approved, as Dependant's Pass and Long-Term Visit Pass applications take 4 weeks to process.
Although you can apply for your family’s passes at the same time as the Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass, you may lose the application fees for each family pass if your Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass application gets rejected.
