How long can I stay in Australia on a Visitor Visa?

The stay period depends on the stream and your personal circumstances. Most Visitor Visas are granted for 3, 6, or 12 months, with either single or multiple entries.

Can I work on a student visa?

Yes, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during the semester and unlimited hours during holidays.

Can I work in Australia on a Visitor Visa?

No, the subclass 600 Visitor visa does not allow you to work in Australia. You may attend business meetings or conferences under the Business Visitor stream, but paid work is strictly prohibited.

What documents do I need to apply for a Visitor Visa?

You’ll typically need a valid passport, proof of funds, travel plans, and, if visiting family, an invitation letter. Strong ties to your home country (like a job or property) are also important to show genuine intent to return.

Can I extend my Visitor Visa while in Australia?

Yes, in some cases you can apply for a Visitor Visa extension from within Australia — if your current visa doesn't have a “no further stay” condition. Our team will assess your eligibility and handle the extension application for you.

Some of the most common refusal reasons include: insufficient financial proof, unclear travel purpose, weak ties to home country, or choosing the wrong visa stream. We help you avoid these mistakes with a well-prepared application.

What Is a Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)?

The subclass 600 Visitor visa is a temporary visa that allows people from overseas to stay in Australia for short-term, non-work purposes. It is ideal for individuals who wish to:

Visit family and friends living in Australia
Travel and explore the country as a tourist
Attend business meetings, conferences, or short-term training
Join a guided tour or cultural exchange (certain streams only)

Depending on your personal situation and the stream you apply under, this visa can be granted for 3, 6, or 12 months, with either single or multiple entry permissions.

This visa is not suitable for those who wish to study long-term or work in Australia. You must clearly show that your visit is temporary and genuine, and that you intend to return to your home country at the end of your stay.

The subclass 600 Visitor visa includes several different streams, and choosing the correct one is essential for approval. At AVC Migration, we help you understand your eligibility and submit the application under the stream that best matches your travel purpose.
