Visitor Visas (Subclass 600)
PROVIDES: Temporary Residency
Those who wish to holiday in Australia as a tourist, or visit family or friends are best served by a Visitor Visa. This is often available at minimal cost directly from the Australian government and typically lasts three months, however the Subclass 600 provides an opportunity to visit for up to 12 months. Parents of Australian citizens of permanent residents may be granted Visitor Visa up to 5 years, depending on circumstances. The duration of the visa is at the discretion of the adjudicating case officer.
The Visitor Visa
Residents Return (Subclass 155/157)
PROVIDES:Â Extended travel rights
This visa allows for continued travel in and out of Australia after the ‘travel element’ of a permanent visa has expired. Although a permanent visa grants indefinite residency, it does not allow for indefinite re-entry to the country. The validity period for re-entry to Australia is stipulated on the permanent visa grant notification. Once it has expired, the visa holder will require a Residents Return visa to continue to gain re-entry to Australia should they leave. Without this, they may not be allowed past immigration control.
