Vistor Visa
The Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) allows individuals to travel to Australia for tourism, business, or to visit family. It is intended for short-term stays of up to three, six, or twelve months, depending on the applicant’s circumstances and the purpose of travel.
Applicants must demonstrate that their visit is temporary, have sufficient funds to cover their stay, and show strong ties to their home country—such as employment, family, or property ownership—indicating their intention to return. While the visa does not permit work in Australia, limited short-term study may be allowed under certain conditions.
The application process requires evidence of the visit’s purpose, proof of financial capacity, and compliance with all Australian visa requirements.
Visitor Visa
Australia offers several streams within the Visitor Visa (Subclass 600), each designed for specific travel purposes:

- Business Visitor Stream – Intended for short-term business activities, such as attending meetings, conferences, or negotiations. This stream does not permit ongoing employment or extensive business operations. Applicants must be outside Australia when applying, and stays of up to 3 months may be granted.
