You must have sufficient personal funds, or access to funds from a sponsor, to support yourself for the duration of your stay in Australia.

You must not owe any outstanding debts to the Australian Government, or you must have arranged a formal repayment plan.
You must apply under the correct stream (Tourist, Business Visitor, or Sponsored Family) that aligns with your true purpose of travel.

While the Subclass 600 visa may seem straightforward, it has one of the highest refusal rates of any Australian visa category. Department of Home Affairs case officers use strict risk matrices to determine if an applicant is a genuine visitor or presents a risk of overstaying or working illegally.
A frequent cause of visa refusal is failing to provide a coherent narrative connecting your financial capacity with your home country ties. Submitting bank statements that show unexplained sudden deposits, or failing to provide a formal letter of leave from your employer, often results in the dreaded 'failure to satisfy the genuine temporary entrant requirement' refusal letter.
As an experienced 600 visa migration agent, we proactively address these risk factors before submission. We audit your financial history, draft robust legal submission letters contextualizing your circumstances, and ensure that every document supports your intention to return home—giving your application the highest chance of approval.
Clear, direct answers regarding the Subclass 600 Visitor Visa Australia rules, costs, and processing times.
The Subclass 600 Visitor Visa allows you to travel to Australia for tourism, business visitor activities, or to see family and friends. It can be granted for stay periods of 3, 6, or 12 months depending on your circumstances.
The government visa application charge for most offshore streams of the Subclass 600 visa is AUD 250. However, if you are applying from within Australia to extend your stay, the fee is higher.
To be eligible, you must be a genuine visitor intending to stay temporarily, have enough funds to support yourself during your stay, and meet the mandatory health and character requirements.
The subclass 600 processing time varies depending on the stream and the time of year. Generally, most tourist and business stream applications are processed within 7 to 24 days if all documentation is submitted correctly.
No. The Subclass 600 visa strictly prohibits working in Australia. If you intend to work, you must explore other visa subclasses such as skilled or employer-sponsored visas.
Visitor visas are frequently refused due to applicants failing the 'genuine temporary entrant' assessment. A 600 visa migration agent ensures your application clearly demonstrates strong ties to your home country and sufficient financial capacity to minimize refusal risks.
