Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar
Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!
Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.
Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!
If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

Here's a few details regarding the timeline of the figure skaters AU. I hope this makes sense because I was going insane while thinking about this.
The NQS are held from June to September. Then the sectionals for ice dance are in October, US Finals in November, and US Championships in January. These are based on the 2020 USFS qualifying structure*
Like I said, I am not American so I'm not familiar with how the school system works. Though I found that each semester lasts for 5 months. I saw that some schools open mid July so that's where I based Nevermore’s calendar:
1st Sem: July to December
2nd Sem: January to June
So for plot purposes, Tyler got injured in August and Enid transferred to Nevermore early September.
* the AU will use the 2019-2020 USFS season structure to make the story feasible later on. I'll explain why in another post

Blazer's Glowfic Stats
✧It's my fourth glowbirthday!✧ And what better way to celebrate could there be than making a giant spreadsheet based off the output records?
(I think I started this sheet around my first anniversary, but it was unwieldy and desperately needed an overhaul and some updating. Now each year has its own sheet instead of all being in one that was a monster to scroll through! Huzzah!)
I'm mostly doing this out of vanity and not because I particularly expect it to be interesting to anyone else. Also data entry is fun.
(You can really tell where I started writing with Alicorn, can't you!)
Let's start with the basics: in my four years as a glowfic author, I've written a total of 280,184 words. I have 48 threads (three of which are marked complete), 26 proper templates (not including Zinglets, Zettings, or the one-off cats), and 153 character accounts. I have 103 galleries with a total of 2,300 icons (what a nice round number! I didn't even rig it it just came out that way I swear).
My template with the most instances is Alphabet Soup with 16, though Jida (15) and Starchild (14) are close behind. (There are 22 untemplated cat accounts but those of course don't count.)
My longest thread so far is of course your stare was holdin', which as of today is 128,638 words long, with 79,154 of those being written by me.
Here's a little baby table of my high scores (or, the most I'd ever written in a single day, midnight to midnight, at each time).
Out of the past 1,461 days, I've written at least a little on 828 of them, which is 56.7%! On 51 of those days (3.5% of the total; 6.2% of days I wrote at all), I wrote at least a thousand words.
There's no calendar month which I didn't write on at least one day of, though I've gone for longer than one at a stretch without tagging: 37 days across July and August of 2019. Conversely, my longest streak of consecutive tagging was 64 days, from September to November of 2021. Here's another tinysheet of my streak high scores:
By the calendar, there's only one month I've tagged on every day of, which is of course October 2021.
Here are each of the charts, day by day and per year:
(You can REALLY tell where I started writing with Alicorn, can't you!!)
(Love the one dot from the day of the moon shadeling princess thread wrecking the scale. Good times <3)
And here we are! This is lacking today's wordcount, even though technically I have another two hours or so before the anniversary of my first tag. It's just easier to count in years going forward if I only do it day-by-day, and anyways most of my count today was sonnets, so it doesn't make much difference. :Þ Speaking of years of going forward and writing glowfic, here's hoping for many more of those! It's been a fun and creatively fulfilling four.
And to wrap things up, here's the total over time with month-sized units. Pretty close to 300k! Not a lot when I compare it to nanos or whatever but I'm proud of it. Thanks for reading <3

Hi! I’m getting into Thunderbirds fics and was thinking about writing some myself. I saw that you ran a challenge at one point and was wondering if there was any event calendar the fandom is using. Or are there any events at all? I wasn’t sure where to find any.
Hi and welcome to the Thunderfam! :D
There is no strict calendar, but a few events do recur at will.
At the moment we are in the middle of Fanart Appreciation Month, which has occurred in January the previous two years as well. The idea being to reblog lots of artworks to give our artists some recognition.
February has been Fab Five Feb in 2019 and 2020, but was missed last year. I haven't done the call out as to whether the Thunderfam want that one this year yet. It is usually a six week challenge with a focus on the five brothers plus another character which changes each year.
Some time in March/April there might be a Easter gift fic event.
Somewhere between April and August there is sometimes a random challenge event. There was nothing last year, but in previous years there has been Sensory Sunday , Earth & Sky Week and an Olympics challenge.
We also celebrate each of the Tracy boys' birthdays - Gordon 14 Feb, Alan 12 March, Scott 4 July (?), Virgil 15 August (always a big one for me :D ) and John in October. Other cast members also get birthday celebrations at various times of the year.
September and October are usually taken up by external challenges like Sicktember and Whumptober.
We did have a Thunderfam November event - Fluffember - but last year an external event was picked up so Fluffember didn't run, but it did run 2019, 2020 and 2021.
December is left to Tag Team Secret Santa.
There have also been random other events over the past few years and I have no doubt there were others before I joined the fandom in 2018. Due to the sudden rise of Covid in 2020 we started International Rescue & Relief, a fluff prompt challenge which is technically still going, but I haven't mentioned it for ages.
Plus there are always writing prompts or question lists flying around that get picked up by whoever wants to play.
Thunderfam, if I have forgotten anything, please chime in. It is late here and my brain is usually pretty unreliable.
Anyways, welcome, thank you for asking. I hope you have fun in thunderfam :D
Nutty
(so do you have a favourite Tracy brother? :D )

Timeline of the main story
I actually made this blog to share stupid trivia i find while translating, so stupid trivia you’re getting.
Youkaigakkou is actually surprisingly clear with what happens when, although im not sure if thats the case with all school life manga, since i dont read school life manga that much lol
this is gonna get long real fast, so everything is under the cut
April
Generally the school year starts at the beginning of April, but it doesn’t actually get any more specific than “April”
In yoseito ch 22, its april 18 on hatanaka’s 2nd day of school, so school started on April 17 for him. It also says 200X, and this is 9 years before yoseito, so 10 years before main story, which means the year timeframe is 2010 to 2019.
Chapter 4 (MIki’s lesson) happens at least a week after the start of school
May
Chapter 6: we get a calendar at the end of the chapter!!
pretty shite calendar. why aren’t the columns labelled. honestly not quite sure how to parse this.
i believe ch 7 (spooking lesson + haruaki goes home directly after) happens on may 1st
ch 8 and 9 (the gang goes to haruakis house) happens on may 2nd
the end of ch 9 is the next day and the train ticket says may 3rd
ch 10 (run melos) is a week before midterms, so like, mid may? idk
ch 11 (senseis sunday), pretty sure it’s may 26. see the next point
idk what this is called but ch 13 sure gives us this.
this would be 2013 or 2019, this kinda lines up bc this manga started in 2014
but also theres no world where this lines up with the calendar from above so whatever
ch 13 is sports day prep, which is may 31, friday
ch 14 to 16 is sports day itself, june 2, sunday
June
No specific dates for anything that happens in june (ch 16 to 19)
ch 19 (zashiki and co sneak into school at night) happens a week before end of term exams (early july), so like late june.
July
ch 20 (momoyama perfume) happens right before sano’s birthday! (july 7)
we dont actually get a chapter about sanos birthday. wtf
we get another timetable in ch21, but its the same one as the one above so im disregarding it. this is called reusing assets, a very smart move
ch 21 and 22 (karasutengu troupe introduction) happen on the same day as ch20, just in the afternoon
ch 23 (amaaki impersonation) happens after july 7, thats all i know
everything that happens in july is before the 20th, since thats when summer vacation starts.
a lot actually happens in that small timeframe
ch 26 (teacher trio go to kyoto + reminisce) happens some weekend
ch 28 to 30 (spookology camp) happens at some point, idk
ch 36 to 38 (lost in tokyo) happens a week before summer vacation starts
summer vacation should be july 20, but i cant be sure since it isnt mentioned in any chapter, but the timeframe is around there.
August
ch44 and 45 (beniko haunted house) is august 10, and it says “middle of summer vacation” so the start would be around july 20, yeah...?
ch 46 (beach episode) and ch47 to 49 (miki house) happen on the same day, not sure what day exactly tho.
ch50 (august 31) happens on august 31. shocking!
we also get this calendar.
which would be 2016, which.... wasnt even the year this chapter came out on. this chapter came out in like 2019
September
anyway, second term starts september 1, which we do get confirmation on in ch50.
ch51 (haru and sano get handcuffed together) happens 2 weeks into september
my mans, can you be less casual about predicting the future like that
ebisu came to hyakki at the very least around 2.5/3rd week of september, since the above is already 2 weeks into september, and in ch52 he says “starting next week”
the timeline’s surprisingly tight around this time, since
ch55 (part time job)
ch56 and 57 (culture festival discussion)
ch58 and 59 (youkai train)
all happen within a week or less, and they happen on different days
the culture festival (ch61 to 66) is two days, and happens around 22 to 23 september. the second day of the festival is the autumn equinox/ohigan, which is 23 or 22 september depending on the year
the whole of the renren arc (ch 67 to 77) happens in one day
this one day is actually really tight. in ch67 u can see a clock, i do believe this is around 1:40pm and not 8am
and then another clock in ch70, which is 5:50pm. this is after haruaki was trying to come up w a plan for 2 hours and then actually executing his genius social media slander plan
and then this
and then the whole ordeal actually goes all night, and ends at sunrise
October
Unclear when exactly the school trip happens, but its sometime in october.
ch 83 until ch 90 (so far) has been the 2nd day of their 4D3N trip......
also, a fun bit of trivia:
ebisu’s festival is 20th october, so even when all the other gods are gone for kannazuki, ebisu is still available for worship in october.
the fact that the mangaka managed to line up the exact right characters and situation for this to happen and this detail to be relevant is kinda impressive.
thats all the chapters for now, heres how the months measure up
april: ch 1 to 7 (7 chapters)
may: ch 8 to 13 (6 chapters)
june: ch 14 to 19 (6 chapters)
july: ch 20 to 43 (24 chapters!)
august: ch 44 to 50 (7 chapters)
september: ch 51 to 78 (28 chapters!)
october: ch 79 to 90 (12 chapters so far)

Have you decided on a birthday for your character? Vividatt's birthday is the 20th of the season Zephyr. He met Taimi the day after his birthday. He fought Ryland with Kas and Braham in Icebrood Saga Episode Champions: Power: Jormag's World, where the Owl's spirit sacrificed herself for the others, and this happened the day before his birthday. He was about to be 28.
Taimi is said to have been born in late spring or early summer. I just wish they'd give them actual birthdays.

Evie's OC Birthday Calendar
Have you ever wondered when my OCs' birthdays are? No? Well, you're getting a birthday calendar anyways. Under the cut, you'll find calendar pages, the template for which was made by this lovely person - for free! Thank you so much ^^
If, for some reason, you can't read what's written on the images, either because they won't load or because you can't read my sorry attempt at writing in cursive for the first time since fifth grade, don't worry – I've put a list of all the birthdays underneath the images for you!
List, in case the images don't load:
Also bonus reasons for the birthdays if there are any :)

29. - Diana ("The Raven" is published on January 29th 1845)

May:
02. - Penny | Agent 0 (goroawase, probably, but I can't remember for what)
04. - Lani (Star Wars Day, May the Fourth be with you)

June:
01. - Vicky (Marilyn Monroe's birthday)

The bears are gaining strength for both crypto and stock markets, as the major US indexes now confirming downtrends. Furthermore, October is usually a red month for markets, so there may be more pains before gains.
US stock markets have been in decline for the past two months, and the move is likely to continue into October.
Will Crypto Markets Follow?
The Nasdaq has fallen below its previous low in August, forming a new lower low this week. The downtrend, which has been confirmed according to crypto analyst “Cold Blooded Shiller,” began in mid-July.
Since then, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index has dropped 9% to 13,063, where it settled at the close of trading on September 26.

Additionally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen by 5.6% since the beginning of August.
Furthermore, the broader S&P 500 Index has mirrored the moves. It has fallen almost 7% since the downtrend began at the beginning of July to 4,273 after the bell on Tuesday.
Moreover, the S&P 500 is now down 340 points since the Fed removed “recession” from their forecast, according to the Kobeissi Letter.
It added that the Fed marked the exact high in the S&P 500, which just hit its lowest level since June:
“Since then, rate cut expectations were pushed out by a year and corporate bankruptcies hit their highest levels since the pandemic.”
S&P 500 3 months. Source: X/@KobeissiLetter
A number of high-profile banks aped the Fed in dropping their recession predictions, yet the markets appear to be defiant.
Crypto markets have been slightly correlated with tech stocks this year but have remained in consolidation for most of it.
Following an initial spurt of growth in the first quarter, crypto markets have been flat since mid-March. Moreover, they have dropped 19% since their 2023 high in mid-April, also exhibiting a downtrend.
A Red October?
October is historically the most volatile month of the year for US and global markets. With a downtrend already confirmed, things will likely slide deeper into the red next month, including crypto.
October’s record of market crashes makes it the most feared month on the financial calendar. The Bank Panic of 1907, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and Black Monday 1987 all happened during the month of October.
In the 2022 bear market, crypto markets were flat for most of October, gaining marginally towards the end of the month. The bull market of 2021 saw large gains for crypto in October, but 2020 was similar to 2022.
2019 saw a brief pump at the end of October, but all gains were lost the following month. The bear market of 2018 was another flat October.
If history rhymes, crypto markets will remain flat next month, but be aware that November is usually much more volatile for this asset class.

F1 returning to China in 2024 as part of major schedule change
Shanghai in China last hosted a Formula 1 race during the 2019 season
China is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar for the first time since the pandemic in a major revision of the schedule for 2024.
The season starts with races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to be held on Saturdays, because of the impact of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
In the quest for greater sustainability, the Japanese race moves to 7 April from its usual autumn date.
And Azerbaijan will be twinned with Singapore in September.
The calendar features what would be a record 24 races - exactly the same number as were due to be held this year before the cancellation of the Chinese and Emilia-Romagna Grands Prix.
Earlier this year, Australian Grand Prix organisers announced that Saudi Arabia would hold the opening race of the 2024 season.
But F1 has found a way to fit both Bahrain and Jeddah in before Melbourne by making the Middle Eastern events Saturday night races. Ramadan starts on the evening of 10 March, the day after the Saudi event.
China was due to return this year but had to be cancelled because of the uncertainty over the Covid situation in the country at the start of the year, when there were riots as a result of continued social restrictions. These have now been lifted.
The move towards greater regionalisation - which is an attempt to reduce carbon emissions from flights as F1 strives to become net-zero carbon by 2030 - has been partly stymied by Canadian organisers resisting F1's attempts to twin the Montreal race with Miami in May.
Instead, the Canadian Grand Prix retains its traditional June date, forcing teams to fly across the Atlantic twice in just over a month.
F1 chairman Stefano Domenicali said: "Our journey to a more sustainable calendar will continue in the coming years as we further streamline operations as part of our Net Zero 2030 commitment."
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem added: "We want to make the global spectacle of Formula 1 more efficient in terms of environmental sustainability and more manageable for the travelling staff who dedicate so much of their time to our sport."
Pre-season testing is due to be held in Bahrain on 21-23 February but those dates are still subject to approval from the FIA world motorsport council.

All Blacks and Springboks set to face in Auckland, but not at Eden Park
New Post has been published on https://thedailyrugby.com/all-blacks-and-springboks-set-to-face-in-auckland-but-not-at-eden-park/
The Daily Rugby

All Blacks and Springboks set to face in Auckland, but not at Eden Park
The All Blacks will play the Springboks in Auckland after confirming the locations for their domestic Rugby Championship matches in 2023.
On Saturday, July 15, South Africa will play at Mount Smart Stadium for the first time; they have never done so before. This is in contrast to the All Black stronghold of Eden Park, where the Springboks last triumphed in 1937.
The Springboks last participated in a Rugby Championship game at Eden Park in 2013, when Heyneke Meyer served as the team’s head coach. The Boks lost that game 29-15.

Following their match against Argentina in Mendoza on July 8, this will be the All Black’ second match in a week. The All Blacks will play two games at home against Australia, the first on July 29 (location TBD) and the second in Dunedin on August 5.
Ian Foster, the New Zealand’ coach, referred to the Test match against the Springboks as “massive” after the locations were made official. The Rugby Championship is a thrilling but challenging draw,” Foster said.
After not having been there since 2019, playing the Argentinians in Argentina is an exciting task.
We are thrilled to play this significant South African Test at Mt Smart despite the difficulties with venue availability in Australasia. We think it’s important for the connection with our fans to have this massive game in our backyard and can’t wait.
More News ::
The Dunedin Test is similarly crucial for us because it’s our final opportunity to perform in front of our supporters before leaving for the thrilling Rugby World Cup, he continued.
When South Africa plays New Zealand in the Rugby Championship this year, they will need to end an eight-decade losing streak. This year, the All Blacks will host two Test matches at home: one against South Africa in Auckland and the other against Australia in Dunedin.
The nearest the Springboks have come to winning in Auckland since 1937 is an 18-all draw with the All Blacks in 1994 at Eden Park. The Rugby Championship match, on Saturday, July 15, will, however, take place at Mount Smart Stadium, a different Auckland location.
A multi-use stadium called Mount Smart Stadium is located in the Penrose neighborhood of Auckland, roughly 10 kilometers south of the city’s center.
The New Zealand Warriors National Rugby League team calls it their primary home field. It is constructed inside the Rarotonga/Mount Smart volcanic cone’s quarried remains.
The Bledisloe Cup will return to Dunedin for the first time since 2017 on August 5 at the Otago Stadium for a rare afternoon home Test match for the All Blacks (kickoff is at 14.35).
Ian Foster, the N coach, described the Rugby Championship as an exciting yet challenging draw. After not having been there since 2019, playing the Argentinians in Argentina is an exciting task.
The All Blacks will play five Test matches in 2023 as they prepare for the World Cup in France in September. The two home matches will be a part of that calendar.
The ability for the NZ to play in Aotearoa during a World Cup year is crucial, according to Chris Lendrum, Head of Professional Rugby and Performance for New Zealand Rugby.
The Test matches performed this year will undoubtedly have an advantage despite the condensed Rugby Championship calendar, Lendrum remarked.
More News : NZ vs SA Rugby
“The Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup continue to be crucial events for New Zealand Rugby, and I know Foz [Foster] and the team are eager for the new season to begin as they prepare for the September World Cup.
All Blacks 2023 Test Schedule
Rugby Championship
All Black v Argentina, Saturday, July 8 at Estadio Malvinas Argentina, MENDOZA
All Black v South Africa, Saturday, July 15 at Mt Smart Stadium, AUCKLAND

Australian Visitor Visa Wait Times Have Blown Out With Some Nationalities in Limbo for Months
Tourists have been waiting three times longer to get their visas approved for travel to Australia this year compared to pre-COVID-19 times, with a new report showing specific impacts on visitors from one country.

Travellers eager to visit Australia this year waited months to get their visas approved, with most Chinese citizens left in limbo for four months, a new report shows.The Department of Home Affairs' report on visitor visas paints a stark picture of the delays in the system after Australia's international borders were re-opened on 1 November 2021. It also shows significant changes in the numbers of tourists and business visitors applying to come to Australia - and where they are coming from - compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The latest report details processing times between 1 April and 30 June 2022 and has only recently been released. It shows that 75 per cent of requests for tourist visas (subclass 600 and 676) were processed within 59 calendar days, 269 per cent longer than the 16 calendar days it took in 2019.
The processing of business visas (short stay, subclass 456) and (business visitor, subclass 600) also grew to 15 days, compared to a processing time of seven days before the emergence of COVID-19 and the shutdown of Australia's international borders on 20 March 2020.
The blowout in processing times has happened despite the number of visa applications being much lower.
Around 75 per cent of tourist visas were processed in 59 calendar days. Source: SBS News
In 2019, around 1.3 million visitor visa applications (including both tourist and business visas) were lodged between April-June, compared to just 695,343 in the same period this year.
Why Have the Wait Times Increased?
The report reveals data from April-June, mostly covering the period prior to the Albanese Government winning the federal election on 21 May.
A Department of Home Affairs spokesperson told SBS News in a statement that "processing times will take some time to improve as we work through older applications in the backlog".
The spokesperson said the department was implementing policy changes to allow more streamlined processing of visas.
"The department is managing risks carefully, targeting applicants who warrant it, while efficiently deciding applications for everyone else."
They said almost 2.8 million temporary and migration visas had been processed since 1 June, including more than 1.5 million visitor, 199,000 student and 43,000 temporary skilled applications.
The Albanese Government has announced it would provide an
extra $36.1 million to hire up to 500 people for nine months to help address wait times. About 20 per cent of those positions had been filled by the end of September.
The department also recruited an additional 260 staff into roles supporting temporary and migration visa processing from the start of May, and officers previously focused on travel exemptions have been redirected to visa processing. But it's unclear whether staffing levels have returned to pre-COVID levels.
Some travellers wanting to visit Australia have waited months to get their visas approved.
Former Department of Immigration secretary Abul Rizvi said he didn't think there would be a recovery in processing times until the next report covering July-September, at the earliest.
"They should be being processed faster now, but I suspect the improvement will be gradual, it won't be sudden," he said.
Information on the Home Affairs website, which was last updated in August, advises travellers that processing of the tourist subclass 600 visa is taking around 63 days for 75 per cent of applicants - even longer than the average wait times seen earlier this year.
Certain countries experiencing longer delays
Processing times have been even longer for citizens of certain countries, with around 75 per cent of tourist visas from China taking 120 days to finalise in April-June this year. During the same period in 2019 most were processed in nine days.
The department did not address questions about why these visas were taking so much longer to get through the system.
Mr Rizvi said China's strict COVID-19 restrictions, including widespread lockdowns, could be making the processing of visas more difficult. Officials could also be taking a more cautious attitude towards processing visas from China, he said, pointing to a recent Nine investigation that exposed alleged visa rorting linked to criminal syndicates.
Mr Rizvi said it was likely the Australian government was aware of scams operating out of China, as well as other countries, and was scrutinising visitor visas more carefully.

When it comes to business visas, about 75 per cent of US citizens have been waiting 52 days for them to be processed, much longer than the average of 15 days.
But processing times have improved compared to April-June last year when most tourism visas took 160 days to process, and business visas were taking 342 days.
Arrivals Are Still a Long Way From Pre-pandemic Levels
The number of visitors arriving in Australia, including both tourists and business travellers, are still well down on pre-COVID-19 levels. Around 699,725 people visited Australia in 2021/22, more than nine times lower than the 6.5 million people in 2018/19.
Around 17 per cent of those travellers were from India, 15 per cent from the UK and 12 per cent from Singapore.
Back in 2018/19, 17 per cent were from China, 11 per cent from the US and 10 per cent from the UK. China now only makes up 2.3 per cent of arrivals in Australia, with just 15,855 travelling to the country in 2021/22 compared to one million travellers three years ago.
The number of visitors to Australia has dropped dramatically. Source: SBS News
However, more recent numbers show tourism could be starting to improve. In June this year, there were 219,607 visitor visa holders in Australia, only around 100,000 less than the 316,469 travellers in the country on the same date in 2019.
The number of visitor holders in Australia has increased by 396 per cent in the period from 17 December 2021, the week the borders opened to some fully vaccinated travellers, until 14 October this year.
Change in the Origin of Tourists
When it comes to visa approvals for tourists, there has also been a significant change in the source countries.
In 2018/19, before the emergence of COVID-19, the top source country was China, with 856,110 tourist visa applications granted, making up 17 per cent of the 5.2 million approvals. It was followed by the US, UK, Japan and Malaysia. India came in sixth with 250,874 visas approved.
China's numbers have since seen a dramatic drop of 95 per cent, to just 36,150 visas granted in 2021/22. India's numbers have remained fairly steady on 190,605 visas, making it the top country of origin. It made up 19 per cent of the one million tourist visas granted, followed by the UK, Singapore, US, Malaysia and China.

Singapore has risen from eighth position to third, despite approved visas dropping by 59 per cent, from 208,480 in 2018/19, to 84,792 in 2021/22.
Mr Rivzi said Australia may have remained a popular destination for Singaporeans compared to China, Hong Kong and Japan due to their strict COVID-19 restrictions.
"Singaporeans have got to spend their money holidaying somewhere and I think we're benefiting because we're seen as a relatively safe destination from a COVID perspective," he said.
The number of subclass 600 tourist visa applications granted under the Approved Destination Status from China also dropped to zero in 2020/21 and 2021/22, after being at 200,038 in 2018/19. Mr Rivzi said those visas were generally used by trusted tour groups and so may have been impacted by the lack of travel from China during the pandemic.
Business Visa Approvals Drop By 320 per Cent
The report also shows a significant shift in approvals for business visas. Back in 2018/19, around 504,782 business visas were granted. The top country was China, which had 82,026 visas approved (making up 16 per cent of the total) followed by US, UK, Japan and India.
Three years later, China has dropped to sixth on the list, with just 8,198 business visas granted. Overall 120,103 visas were approved in 2021/22.
The top country is now the US, making up 11 per cent of business visas approved in 2021/22, despite the number being four times lower than in 2018/19. The number of visas granted to the US dropped from 65,325 in 2018/19, to 13,444. The US is followed by Singapore, UK, India and South Korea.
Countries Finding It Harder to Get Visas Approved
Between April-June this year, Australia approved 91.9 per cent of visitor visa applications (including tourism and business visas) compared to 94.6 per cent during the same period in 2019.
It's understood the finalisation of visa applications lodged before or during the pandemic may have impacted the grant rate, as some applicants may have experienced a change in circumstances, and may no longer have wanted to travel to Australia.
COVID-19-related travel restrictions have also continued to impact the ability of Chinese nationals to travel internationally for tourism purposes.
Approval rates can vary widely between countries. Just 66 per cent of tourist visa 600 and 676 applications from Thailand were approved in April-June, compared to 95 per cent of those from the US.
Back in 2019, Thailand's grant rate for tourist visas was 82 per cent in the same period. Fiji had the lowest approval rate of 76 per cent while the highest rate was for Chile at 96 per cent.
This does not include figures for the 651 eVisitor visa, an electronic visa that only certain countries including the UK and other European countries, can apply for.
Australia approved around 83 per cent of tourist visas between April-June this year but grant rates for Thailand were much lower, at just 66 per cent. Source: SBS News
Meanwhile, approval rates for business visa 600 also dropped. Previously, most countries had high approval rates (of more than 90 per cent) for these visas in April-June 2019, and there was an overall approval rate of 94 per cent. This has now dropped to 91 per cent. In particular, China's approval rate for business visas dropped from 93 per cent in April-June 2019, to only 83 per cent this year.
By contrast, approval rates for sponsored tourist visa 600 improved from 81 per cent in April-June 2019, to 88 per cent this year. Indonesia boasted the highest grant rate of 94 per cent, a vast improvement from its 2019 approval rate of just 78 per cent.
Lebanon had the lowest approval rate of 71 per cent, although this was an improvement on its 2019 number of 55 per cent. Previously, the highest grant rate in 2019 was for Bangladesh citizens on 92 per cent.
