This document discloses Visitor (subclass 600) visa processing statistics for Sri Lankan citizens covering July 2017 to June 2025. The data tracks monthly lodgements, grants, and grant rates across the eight-year period. Grant rates remained consistently high, generally ranging between 82-93%, with most months exceeding 85%. Lodgement volumes were substantial, typically 2,000-4,000 per month during 2017-2019, before declining sharply from April 2020 onwards (dropping to 201-514 monthly) during the COVID-19 pandemic period, with minimal recovery through late 2020. Data on protection visa applications and overstay adverse outcomes was redacted under section 47E(d) of the Freedom of Information Act. The disclosure provides operational visa processing metrics but withholds sensitive compliance and compliance-related information.
