Can I Extend a Tourist Visa in Australia?

In most cases, you cannot extend your current Tourist Visa (Subclass 600). If you wish to stay longer, you must apply for a new visa before your current visa expires. It’s recommended to apply at least two weeks before your current visa ends to avoid any complications.

If your current visa has a “No Further Stay” (Condition 8503) restriction, you cannot apply for another temporary or permanent visa while in Australia, except in very limited circumstances.

Visa Conditions:-

With an Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600 – Tourist Stream), you are allowed to stay in Australia for the period specified on your visa. During this time:

• You cannot undertake any studies or training in Australia.
• You are not permitted to work or engage in any paid employment under any circumstances.
• You must comply with all visa conditions and Australian laws.

Health Insurance: -

If you are visiting Australia on a temporary visa, you should consider obtaining Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC). Without it, if you need to see a doctor or be admitted to a hospital during your stay, you may be liable for the entire cost of treatment, which can be very expensive.

Visa label: -

Your visa will be digitally linked to your passport, so you will not receive a physical visa label in your passport. Instead, once your visa is approved, you will receive a visa grant letter on paper or by email. This grant letter will contain important details such as your visa grant number, the visa conditions, and the period of your stay. Immigration and airline authorities will be able to verify your visa electronically when you travel, making the process simple, secure, and efficient.

Travel: -

Before traveling the main thing to keep in mind is to always check your visa details. Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) allows visa holders, employers, education providers, and other organizations to check visa details and conditions.

Through VEVO, you can access important information about your current valid visa, including:

• the type of visa you hold
• the visa expiry date
• the "must not arrive after" date
• the period of stay (how long you are permitted to remain in Australia)
• the conditions attached to your visa (what you are allowed and not allowed to do).
