Who Is the Visitor Visa For?

The Australian Visitor Visa is suitable for individuals who intend to visit Australia temporarily, including for:

  • Holidays and tourism

  • Visiting family or friends

  • Attending social or cultural events

  • Short-term non-business activities

In some circumstances, applicants may apply from outside Australia or while already in Australia, depending on the stream and visa conditions.

Genuine Temporary Entrant Requirement

A critical requirement for all visitor visas is demonstrating that you are a genuine temporary entrant. This means you must satisfy the Department of Home Affairs that you genuinely intend to stay in Australia temporarily and comply with visa conditions.

Failure to meet this requirement is one of the most common reasons for visitor visa refusals.

The Department may assess factors such as:

  • Your financial capacity to support yourself during your stay

  • Whether you have family, friends, or sponsors in Australia

  • Your employment, business, or study commitments overseas

  • Family ties in your home country

  • Assets such as property or investments outside Australia

  • Previous travel and visa history

Visitor Visa Refusals & Re-Applications

If your Australian visitor visa has been refused, it does not necessarily mean you cannot apply again.

In many cases, refusals occur because insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate genuine temporary intention or financial capacity. Our firm has successfully assisted clients to reapply for visitor visas after refusals, including where applications were previously lodged independently or through another migration agent.

We carefully assess refusal reasons, strengthen supporting documentation, and advise on the best re-application strategy.
