Visitor Visas to Australia

The visa information provided below is provided by DIMIA.

Australia has visas specifically for visits by people coming to Australia for tourism, to visit friends or relatives, or for short-term study.

The visa options are:

• Short stay visitor visa (or visas), for stays of three months or less;
• Long stay visitor visas, for stays between three and six months. 

You may apply for a tourist/holiday visa (or visas) if you:

• Intend to travel to, and remain in, Australia as a genuine visitor (not for work, business, study or medical treatment purposes);
• Have adequate funds for the duration of your visit;
• Are of good character and health;
• Have private health insurance (or equivalent) and a certificate from the doctor if you are over 70 years of age;
• Have no debts to the Commonwealth;
• Do not intend to work in Australia; and
• Leave Australia when (or before) your visa expires.

ASSISTANCE WITH THIS VISA OR OTHER VISAS? 

Normally, you would not need the assistance of a migration agent to complete this visa application unless you are from certain countries whose visitor visa violations have been higher than usual. Here is our general link to the Migration Agents Registration Authority so that you can better understand what migration agents do, their responsibilities and your rights as a member of the public in regard to Australian Visas and Citizenship.
