Types of Visitor Visas  

There are several types of Visitor visas for Australia, each designed for short-term travel. Your eligibility for a particular subclass often depends on the passport you hold, as some visas are only available to citizens of specific countries. Regardless of the visa type, all applicants must be a genuine temporary visitor, meaning you intend to stay in Australia for a limited period and will depart before your visa expires.
