Visitor visa advice

Visitor visas do not permit employment in Australia. Some streams allow limited business visitor activities, which are different from working. We can check your planned activities and advise on a suitable visa if you intend to work.

It is best to wait for a visa decision before making non-refundable travel arrangements. A pending application does not guarantee a grant or a decision date. We can help you plan around the process.

The appropriate visitor visa depends on your passport, reason for travel, location and visa history. Options can include a Visitor visa (600), eVisitor (651) or Electronic Travel Authority (601), subject to eligibility. We can help identify the suitable option.

Yes, visiting family or friends is a recognised visitor purpose, subject to the relevant visa requirements. You may need evidence of your travel plans, finances, accommodation and intention to stay temporarily. We can help you prepare.

You cannot extend an existing visa, but you may be eligible to apply for another visa before your authorised stay ends. Conditions such as “No Further Stay” can restrict your options. We can check your visa and explain what is available.
