Like anything in life, while travelling things can change. So, what happens if you plan a trip and you have all the required visas but during your stay something happens and you are required to stay longer?
All of Australia and much of the world is focused on the devastating bushfires that are currently ripping through our country. While the immediate goal is getting these fires under control and ultimately extinguishing them, thoughts at some point will turn to what happens after the fires.
Anyone wishing to visit family and friends or holiday in Australia will require either a Tourist Visa or a Sponsored Family Visa. These are temporary visas which allow holders to stay in Australia for three, six or twelve months. The length of stay granted is determined on a case-by-case basis and is specified on the visa grant letter.
Visitor visas or tourist visas are temporary visas which are valid for 3, 6 or 12 months. Visitor visas are available to tourists, business visitors or anyone wanting to visit family and friends in Australia. Visitor visas may be granted with single or multiple entry to Australia.
Many tourists travel on a Working Holiday Visa. A Working Holiday Visa allows travellers to visit Australia while picking up employment to either share their knowledge, skills and culture or to earn some extra money.
Businesses can benefit from employing Working Holiday Visa holders. Holiday visa holders can fill positions where there is a temporary increase in demand that doesn’t warrant the employment of a permanent staff member or they may fill a short term skills gap the business may be currently experiencing.
It is not uncommon for people to visit Australia as a tourist and enjoy their stay so much that they’d like to stay longer. The Visitor visa subclass 600 allows you to stay in the country as a sightseer without taking up employment, usually for a set period. It’s also ideal for business visitors.
