Frequently Asked Questions
The Subclass 600 typically grants 3, 6, or 12 months depending on the stream and case assessment. ETA and eVisitor allow stays up to 3 months per visit.
No. Work is strictly prohibited on a Visitor Visa. Limited business activities (meetings, conferences) are permitted in the Business Visitor stream, but employment is not allowed.
Previous refusals must be disclosed and can affect the application. Strong GTE evidence and a well-prepared submission are especially important in these cases. We strongly recommend professional guidance.
