Visitor Visa

The Visitor Visa is a visa for people who want to visit Australia for tourism, business, or to visit family and friends. It is a temporary visa, and you cannot work in Australia on this visa.

The duration of your stay will be determined by the Department of Home Affairs and will depend on your intended length of stay and the purpose of your visit. You can stay for up to 12 months on a Visitor Visa.

The Visitor Visa can be either a single entry or multiple entry. A single-entry visa allows you to enter Australia once, while a multiple-entry visa allows you to enter and exit Australia as many times as you like within the visa's validity period.

While on a Visitor Visa, you can:

  • Visit Australia for tourism
  • Visit Australia for business
  • Visit Australia to visit family and friends
  • Engage in short-term studies or training (for up to 3 months)
