Visitor Visa
A Visitor Visa allows individuals to visit a country for a temporary
period, typically for purposes such as tourism, visiting family or friends,
attending business meetings, or for short-term medical treatment. The details of a
visitor visa can vary by country, but here’s a general overview, focusing on the
Australian Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) as an example:
General Requirements for Visitor Visas (Subclass 600):
Health and Character Requirements:
You must meet health and character requirements as per Australian immigration law.
This
might involve providing police clearance certificates and undergoing medical
examinations.
Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement:
You must show that you genuinely intend to stay temporarily in Australia and return
to
your home country at the end of your visit.
Proof of Funds:
You need to demonstrate that you have enough funds to cover your stay in Australia
(bank
statements, proof of income, etc.).
Health Insurance:
It is advisable to have adequate health insurance for the duration of your stay in
Australia, though it's not always a mandatory requirement.
No Work Allowed:
You are not allowed to work on a visitor visa, though you can engage in business
visitor
activities such as attending conferences or meetings.
