    Visitor Visa

    The Tourist stream of the Visitor visa (Subclass 600) is designed for people who want to visit Australia purely for a holiday, sightseeing, a cruise, or to see family and friends — not for business or medical treatment. It’s the most commonly applied-for stream under the Subclass 600 and can be lodged either from outside Australia or, in certain cases, while already in the country on another valid visa.
