Subclass 600 Visitor Visa

The Subclass 600 Visitor visa (Tourist stream) lets you travel to Australia for a holiday or to visit family and friends. Whether it's a single trip or regular visits, we help you put forward a clear, well-supported application.

Who this visa is for

As the applicant, you generally need to:

• Genuinely intend to visit for tourism or to see family and friends (not for work or medical treatment)
• Have access to sufficient funds for your stay
• Meet the health and character requirements (health insurance may be required)

Visa validity and conditions

Depending on your circumstances, you may be granted a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. As a visitor you generally can't work in Australia, and can't study for more than three months. Parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents may be considered for longer visitor arrangements in some cases, assessed case by case — we can advise whether this suits your family's situations.

How the application works

Once you've provided your information and supporting documents, we prepare and lodge your application with the Department. Where you are when you apply can affect where you must be when the visa is granted — we'll explain how this applies to you.
