Visa & Immigration

Your Guide to the Australian Tourist Visa, with Western Corridor Consultancy

Planning a trip to Australia whether for a holiday, to visit family, or a short break starts with getting the right visa in place. The Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) is the main route for most travellers, and understanding how it works upfront makes the whole process much smoother. Here’s what you need to know, and how WCC can help.

Understanding the Australia Tourist Visa

The Subclass 600 Visitor Visa is Australia’s primary visa for tourism, holidays, and family or friend visits. Depending on your circumstances, you may apply under the Tourist stream or the Sponsored Family stream, with stays typically granted for 3, 6, or 12 months. Some passport holders may instead be eligible for the faster ETA (Subclass 601) or eVisitor (Subclass 651) we’ll help you identify the right option for your nationality and travel plans.

Benefits of the Subclass 600 Visa

Flexible Stay Options

Depending on your stream, stays of up to 12 months are possible, ideal for extended family visits or longer holidays.

Multiple Entry Options

Depending on your stream, stays of up to 12 months are possible, ideal for extended family visits or longer holidays.

Available to Most Nationalities

Unlike the ETA or eVisitor, the Subclass 600 is open to travellers from a wide range of countries, making it the standard option where faster electronic visas aren’t available.

The Application Process

Checking Your Eligibility

You'll need to show you're a genuine temporary visitor, hold a valid passport, and meet health and character requirements.

Gathering Your Documents

This typically includes proof of funds, a travel itinerary, accommodation details, and evidence of ties to your home country.

Completing Your Application

Applications are lodged online through the ImmiAccount portal, with accuracy at this stage key to avoiding delays.

Paying the Visa Fee

A visa application charge applies and must be paid before your application can be processed.

Awaiting Your Decision

Once approved, your visa is linked electronically to your passport no stamp required.

Common Challenges and How We Help

Applicants often underestimate what’s needed to demonstrate genuine visitor status, financial capacity, and strong ties to their home country gaps here are a common reason for delays or refusals. This is exactly where working with an experienced consultancy makes the difference.
