What do you understand by Visitor Visa Subclass 600

This visa helps you arrive in Australia for travel purposes or as a business visitor or medical treatment services for about 3, 6, to 12 months. Applicants are permitted to enter only once with the help of this visa. If you want to extend this visa, you have to apply for another new visa or return to your own country and then again return to Australia. You can travel to and from Australia several times as long you want until your current visa is valid, but the time you are spending in Australia should not exceed the period granted in your visa.

  • You are going on a tour with a registered agent.

If you are currently in Australia, you can apply for a tourist visa stream when you already have a valid visa currently that does not have 8503 imposed.

Suppose you are currently staying in Australia and want to extend your stay in Australia more than your current Australian immigration visa in Cobden permits you. In that case, you have to again apply for a visa of the same kind or different. If you have 8503 imposed on your visitor visa and extend your stay, you can request a waiver in this case.

 

If you want to visit Australia now, you have to consult with a MARA licensed agent working for Aussie Visa Services, one of the trusted agencies that offer visa services to people who want to move to Australia or extend their stay.
