About Australia Visitor Visa

Understanding the Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)

The Visitor Visa allows travellers to enter Australia temporarily without any physical label placed in the passport. Once approved, the visa is electronically connected to the passport details provided during the application.

This visa may allow single or multiple entries, with permitted stays typically ranging from three to twelve months, depending on the stream granted and individual circumstances.

The visa is intended strictly for temporary visits. Employment in Australia is not allowed. Study is generally permitted for up to three months, subject to visa conditions.

Applicants may need to be outside Australia when applying or when a decision is made, depending on the visa stream and application circumstances.

All visa conditions, validity periods, and permitted stay durations are determined solely by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

    Travellers should carry relevant documents and be prepared to explain the purpose of their visit if requested.

    07

    Passport and Visa Link

    The Visitor Visa is electronically connected to the passport used in the application.

    Travellers must use the same passport when travelling to Australia. If a new passport is issued after approval, passport details may need to be updated before departure to ensure the visa remains valid.

    08

    Common Reasons for Visa Refusal

    Applications may be refused for several reasons, including:

    • Incomplete or incorrect information
    • Concerns about meeting the Genuine Visitor requirement
    • Previous travel or visa history issues
    • Insufficient supporting documents
    • Health or character concerns
    • Inconsistencies between declared information and official records

    Each application is assessed individually by the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

    When Another Visa May Be More Suitable
