Tourist Visa – Subclass 600

The Tourist Stream Visa, Subclass 600, is designed for individuals who wish to visit Australia for various purposes, such as tourism, going on a cruise, or visiting family and friends. It is a temporary visa, and the length of your stay is specified in the visa grant letter. The duration of your stay is determined based on your specific needs and reasons for visiting Australia.

Here are some key details about the Subclass 600 visa:

  • Single or Multiple Entry: The visa can be granted with either a ‘single entry’ or ‘multiple entry’ condition. With ‘multiple entry,’ you can leave and return to Australia on the visa while it is valid.
  • Study and Work: On this visa, you are allowed to study or train for up to 3 months, but you are not permitted to work.
  • Applying Inside or Outside Australia: You can apply for this visa both within and outside Australia. However, you cannot extend your stay in Australia by extending this visa; you must apply for another visa to prolong your stay.

If you choose to apply for this visa outside Australia, you must be outside Australia when applying and when the visa decision is made.

Eligibility criteria for applying outside Australia include:

  • Being a genuine visitor with the intention to stay temporarily in Australia.
  • Having sufficient finances to support your stay in Australia.
  • Meeting the health requirements.
  • Meeting the character requirements.

 

Please note that you will not be permitted to work while in Australia on this visa. The visa cost is $145, and the processing time depends on the age of the applicants and when the application is finalized.

Tourist Visa – Apply In Australia:

If you decide to apply for this visa while inside Australia, you must be in Australia when applying and when the decision is made.

Eligibility criteria for applying inside Australia include:

  • Being a genuine visitor with the intention to stay temporarily in Australia.
  • Having sufficient finances to support your stay in Australia.
  • Meeting the health requirements.
  • Meeting the character requirements.

 

Just like applying outside Australia, you are not allowed to work while in Australia on this visa. The visa cost is $370, and its processing time can range from 15 days to 11 months, depending on the number of applicants.
