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.
