Stays are usually granted for up to 3, 6 or 12 months. You cannot work on a visitor visa.

Subclass 600 FAQs

Is the visa fee refunded if refused?

No. The AUD 250 application charge is not refunded if the visa is refused.

Can my parents visit me in Australia for longer?

Parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents may be eligible for longer stays, including multiple-entry visitor visas. We check which option fits.

Can I apply again after a refusal?

Yes, usually. A new application should address the reasons given in the refusal letter.

How much bank balance do I need?

There is no fixed amount. You must show enough money for flights, accommodation and daily costs for your planned stay, with a clear source of funds.

Can I work on a visitor visa?

No. Work for an Australian business is not allowed on the Subclass 600.

Do I need an invitation letter?

It is not always required, but it strongly helps if you are visiting family, friends or a business. It should give the host's details and the dates of your visit.

Do I need travel insurance?

It is not usually mandatory, but strongly recommended, because Australian medical care is expensive for visitors.

Will I need a medical exam?

Usually only for longer stays, generally over six months, or if Home Affairs asks because of your health history.

We review your documents and invitation before you lodge, so your application is clear and complete.
