Australia offers several types of visitor visas to cater to diverse travel purposes. The most common options include the visitor 600 visa for extended tourism and family visits, the Work and Holiday visa for combining travel with temporary work, and the Electronic Travel Authority for short-term stays, to mention a few. To assist you which best route to take, consider talking to one of our immigration agents at Parish Patience.
An Australian Visitor Visa serves as your official permit to stay in the country. There are various options to choose from, depending on your purpose. Whether you intend to go on leisure, visit your family, or attend business conferences, there is a right visa type for you.
The most basic option is the eVisitor or the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) that allows up to three months of stay. If you wish to stay longer, you may opt for the standard visitors visa. There are also specialised streams for combining travel with temporary work and a visa that allows brief stopover during international travel.
Remember that each visa type comes with its own set of eligibility criteria, documentary requirements, and processing times. To ensure a smooth visa journey, you need to
research and choose the visa that best suits your intended activities.
From the purposes of medical treatment to a unique visa arrangement between Australia and New Zealand citizens,
these are the other visa types available for eligible applicants who fit the requirements.
The Subclass 600 Australian Visitor Visa grants temporary entry for tourism, family visits, or other non-business, non-medical purposes. It comes in various streams that offer durations ranging from three to 12 months, with some even allowing multiple entries. Before deciding to take this visa route, make sure to know the specific eligibility criteria and eligibility requirements. It is best to consult official sources or seek legal guidance.
The Australian Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) allows young adults aged 18-30 (35 for some countries) to explore and work in Australia for up to three years. It is ideal for combining travel with temporary work in various sectors like tourism, agriculture, or hospitality.
Australia’s subclass 651 eVisitor visa serves as your convenient online entry permit if you intend to have a short stay in the country. This is perfect for quick getaways for up to three months within a 12-month validity period. While this visa offers flexibility for multiple entries during its validity, it does not allow you to work in Australia. One crucial requirement for this visa is that you are a passport holder of one of the eligible countries.
The Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) visa subclass 601 is another easy way for eligible applicants to shortly visit Australia. This online-only visa allows you to visit for tourism, business meetings, or to see family and friends with a maximum of three months per visit. This allows you multiple entries in the country within its one-year validity. Like the eVisitor visa, this also does not entitle you to work in Australia.
If you are planning for a stopover in Australia on your international journey, the Transit Visa (subclass 771) is for you. This allows you to stay in Australia for a maximum of 72 hours without leaving the airport transit area. This is perfect for catching your connecting flight or briefly exploring the airport facilities. Remember, this is not suitable for other activities outside the airport.
Regardless of the specific visa you choose, some general requirements apply to all Australian visitor visas. Here are two of the main requirements for you to be eligible for any visitors visa Australia offers:
To secure any of the visitor visas, you need to show and prove that you are a genuine visitor. This means you can convince the authorities that your primary purpose is temporary tourism, family visits, or other authorised activities. Additionally, you need to prove that you intend to leave Australia once your visa expires. This may require you to present return flight tickets and accommodation booking for your stay.
In addition to proving your visitor-only status, you also need to show Australian authorities that you can financially support yourself while you are in the country. This means that you need to have sufficient funds for your living expenses, travel costs, and other unforeseen costs in the whole duration of your stay. You may be asked to present bank statements, payslips, or other proof of financial stability to support your application.
