The detail
Everything you need to plan.
Eligibility, documents, timeline and step-by-step process — laid out the way our migration agents actually walk you through it on the first call.
The dossier
The Visitor visa (subclass 600) is a temporary visa for tourism, visiting family and friends, or short business activities such as conferences and meetings. It is typically valid for three to twelve months and carries no work rights. It suits holidaymakers, family visitors and business visitors who need to enter Australia for a limited period.
Eligibility Criteria
The Visitor visa (subclass 600) has Tourist, Business Visitor, Sponsored Family and Frequent Traveller streams. You may be eligible if you:
- Are a genuine visitor intending to stay temporarily for tourism, family or short business.
- Have sufficient funds to support your stay and return travel.
- Show ties to your home country — employment, family or assets that indicate you'll return.
- Will not work — the visa carries no work rights.
- Meet health and character requirements; travel health insurance is recommended.
Most visitor visas are granted for 3, 6 or 12 months. Contact us for help with a strong, well-evidenced application.
