Key information for visitor visa applicants.
The questions we hear most often. Need more detail? Book a consultation.
Most Tourist stream visas grant 3, 6 or 12 months stay per entry. The Business stream is typically up to 3 months. Sponsored Family stream can grant up to 12 months.
No. Paid work is not permitted on any Visitor Visa stream, including casual or short-term work. The Business stream allows business activities like meetings and conferences but not direct employment.
Some Visitor Visas allow an extension by lodging a new application before your current visa expires, but this is increasingly restricted. The original visa often has a "no further stay" condition.
Yes, but only short courses up to 3 months in total. For longer study, you need a Student Visa (Subclass 500).
Health insurance is strongly recommended (and is compulsory for Sponsored Family stream applicants over 75). Australia's healthcare can be expensive without insurance.
Yes, but you need to address the refusal reasons in your new application. Repeated refusals on the same grounds make future applications increasingly difficult — we can review the refusal decision and advise.
