Visitor and Working Holiday Visas

Visitor Visa (subclass 600) and ETA

Many Visitor Visas are generally straight forward but there are some situations where you might require some expert advice. If you are from a ‘high-risk’ country, or are unsure how you can satisfy the ‘genuine temporary entrant’ criteria, we can help assess your situation.

Genuine Temporary Entrant Criteria

The Visitor visa is a temporary visa that enables the holder to visit Australia for tourism or other activities. It is important that clients from high risk countries provide evidence to the department that they do intend only to stay temporarily, and wont overstay their visa. The evidence applicants must provide can vary depending on individual circumstances but can range anywhere from evidence of employment in your home country, your family ties as well as financials and assets you hold that indicate your likely hood of returning.

If you have received a refusal for a visitor visa, or you are concerned of a refusal, we can help work with you to ensure you have a solid plan for the evidence you need to provide to give you the best chances of a positive outcome.

Working Holiday Visas

Working Holiday (subclass 417) and Work and Holiday (subclass 462)

Many young internationals wish to travel abroad to live, work, study and enjoy new experiences. Most Working Holiday visas are quite straight forward but you may need expert advice if you:

• are applying for a second or third working holiday visa
• Have breached the conditions of your visa or had a brush with the law
• Wish to work for more than 6 months with your employer
• Wish to apply for another visa while you are in Australia.
