This varies enormously according to the variety. While an orange may look ripe when it changes from greenish to orange, it may not have developed sweetness. Taste and knowledge of the variety are the best guides, as an orange will not continue to ripen off the tree. Some will maintain quality if left on the tree, while others will deteriorate quickly. Some ripen in 6 months, while others can take up to a year.
