Visitor, tourist and short-stay options for coming to Australia.
Get your free Travel Visas assessmentTravel visas cover short stays in Australia for tourism, visiting family and friends, or business visitor activities such as meetings and conferences. The right option depends on your passport and the purpose of your visit.
For eligible passport holders, fast electronic options like the ETA and eVisitor can be the simplest choice; for everyone else, or for longer and family-sponsored visits, the subclass 600 Visitor visa is the broader option. Most refusals come down to not satisfying the genuine-visitor requirement, which is where good preparation helps.

Travellers visiting Australia for tourism, family or short business activities who want help meeting genuine-visitor and financial-capacity requirements, or who have had complex travel histories or a previous refusal.
If you hold an eligible passport, an ETA (601) or eVisitor (651) is usually the fastest, cheapest route for a short visit. If your passport is not eligible, or you need a longer or family-sponsored stay, the subclass 600 Visitor visa is the option. An agent can confirm which applies and help present a genuine-visitor case.

You are not required to use a registered migration agent, but Travel Visas are detail-heavy and the rules change often. A small mistake — the wrong subclass, a missing document, a late response or an unevidenced claim — can mean delay or refusal, and a refusal can affect future applications. A registered migration agent confirms your eligibility before you spend money, recommends the right pathway, prepares your evidence and manages the process with the Department of Home Affairs. Through Immigration Expert you can be matched with up to three OMARA-registered agents who handle Travel Visas every day, compare their advice and choose who to work with — free and with no obligation.
It depends on your passport and purpose — an ETA or eVisitor may suit eligible passport holders, while others apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600). An agent can confirm your best option.
Visitor visas are commonly granted for stays of 3, 6 or 12 months per entry, subject to the conditions set on the visa.
No. Travel and visitor visas do not permit work in Australia. If you intend to work, a different visa is required.
Yes, but you should address the reasons for the previous refusal. An agent can help present a stronger genuine-visitor case.
