Tourism, visiting family, or short-term business activities.
The Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) is Australia's standard temporary entry visa for tourism, family visits, and short-term business activities. It covers applicants who don't qualify for the ETA or eVisitor, and is available under four streams: Tourist, Business Visitor, Sponsored Family, and Frequent Traveller.
Stays range from 3 to 12 months (up to 365 days); the visa is non-renewable and carries no PR pathway. Work is not permitted on any stream. Fees start at AUD 200 offshore; the Frequent Traveller stream costs AUD 1,480. Most applicants apply online via ImmiAccount and receive a decision within 2–8 weeks.
This visa is ideal for tourists, family visitors, and short-term business travelers who need a flexible, multi-entry Australian visit visa outside the ETA or eVisitor programs.
