And Visit Australia
The Australian visitor visa allows you to travel to Australia to spend time with family or undertake business activities for up to three months to a year, either as a single or multiple-entry permit.
The Department will determine the duration and entry requirements for the visa on a case-by-case basis, depending on your purpose of the travel.

Initial Consultation
We will assess your current situation and determine if you meet the eligibility criteria to apply for a visitor visa. Once we understand your current circumstances, we will recommend possible visa pathways to visit Australia temporarily.

Apply and Gather Relevant Documents
Once we deem you eligible for the visa, we will start compiling documents for your application. We will gather relevant documents such as police clearance certificates and prepare a decision-ready application.

Lodgement and Follow Up
Once we receive all your documents and are satisfied that your application is ready for lodgement, we will submit your application. We will also follow up with the Department on the progress of your application to avoid any unnecessary delays.
What happens after my visa is granted?
Once your visa is granted, you can travel to Australia without applying for a travel ban exemption. If the Department gives you a multiple entry visa, you can travel in and out of Australia while it is valid.
