Visitor visa – SC 600
Australia’s Visitor visa program enables individuals to enter the country temporarily for tourism or business visitor purposes. Tourism activities encompass holidays, recreational activities, and visiting family or friends. On the other hand, business visitor activities may involve attending conferences, participating in negotiations, or conducting exploratory business visits.
These visas typically last for 12 months, allowing a stay of up to 3 months. It’s important to note that visitor visas do not grant permission to work, offer services to businesses or organizations, or sell goods or services to the public in Australia (although unpaid volunteer work may be allowed in specific situations).
