Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600)
While student visas are our specialty, we know that many students want their parents, siblings, or spouses to visit them for graduation ceremonies or holidays. To do this, your family will need an Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600). Expertly lodging a visitor visa is crucial, as the Department of Home Affairs is highly strict about temporary entrants. Here is your complete guide to a successful application.
The Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) allows tourists, business visitors, or family members to visit Australia temporarily. For the families of international students, this visa typically grants a stay of 3, 6, or 12 months.
To avoid a visa refusal, the applicant must prove to the Australian Government that they are a "genuine temporary entrant." This means proving they will absolutely return to their home country (like Nepal or India) before their visa expires.
You must provide concrete evidence across three categories:
1. Strong Ties to the Home Country:
Employment: A letter from the applicant's employer granting them approved leave and confirming their return to work.
Assets and Property: Evidence of property ownership, businesses, or significant assets in their home country.
Family Ties: Proof that immediate family members (other children or a spouse) are remaining in the home country.
2. Financial Capacity: The applicant must prove they have enough money to support themselves in Australia without needing to work.
Personal bank statements showing a healthy savings history.
If you (the student in Australia) are paying for their trip, you must provide a formal Letter of Invitation alongside your own Australian bank statements and proof of your legal student status.
3. Clear Purpose of Visit:
A detailed itinerary of what they plan to do in Australia.
If attending a graduation, provide the official graduation invitation letter from your Australian university.
Last-Minute Large Deposits: Immigration officers look for "fund parking." Money in the applicant's bank account should show a steady, natural accumulation, not a sudden massive deposit right before the application.
Working on a Tourist Visa: The Subclass 600 strictly prohibits working. If the applicant implies they want to help out at a family business, the visa will be denied.
Navigating the Subclass 600 requirements requires precision. Our visa teams across Nepal, India, Sydney, and Perth have extensive experience drafting compelling invitation letters and organizing financial matrices for visitor visas.
