should ask for more information from an Australian Visa Office

or office of the department in Australia.

If you are granted a visa, carefully check the details and

conditions on the letter advising you of the grant of your visa.

• Electronically over the internet if you are eligible. To check

your eligibility please visit the department’s website

www.border.gov.au/trav/visa-1/600-

• In person or by mail at the nearest Australian Visa Office or

office of the department; or

some countries. For more detailed information, and to

check if an SDP is available in your country, please visit the

www.border.gov.au/about/contact/offices-locations

You may arrange for another person to help you complete this

application form, but you must sign it. If you have been assisted

in completing the application form, you should only sign the

declaration(s) if the information in it is true and correct.

Supporting documents and additional information

Part K – Application checklist on page 13 contains information

about supporting documentation. If you are lodging your

application overseas, you should also check the website of

your nearest Australian Visa Office

www.border.gov.au/about/contact/offices-locations

Extending your stay in Australia

If you are applying for a new visa while in Australia you must

apply for a new visa before your current visa expires. You

cannot apply for a further Visitor visa – Business Visitor stream

in Australia. The best time to apply for a new visa is about

2 weeks before the expiry of your current visa. Please bear in

mind that the grant of a new visa will cease any visa currently

held and the entitlements attached to that visa. If, for example,

you currently have work rights or formal study entitlements,

those entitlements will cease when a Visitor visa is granted.

Health requirements

All applicants must meet Australia’s health requirements. You

may be required to undergo a chest x-ray and medical

examination in order to meet the criteria for the grant of a

subclass 600 visa.

Please follow any directions given by the visa processing

officer as to medical or x-ray examinations that may be

required.

Additional information regarding the health requirement

for temporary entry into Australia is available on the

department’s website

www.border.gov.au/trav/visa/heal/meeting-the-health-

requirement/arranging-a-health-examination

Health insurance requirements

Medical treatment in Australia can be very expensive. It is

recommended that you take out health insurance for your

period of stay in Australia. You will not be covered by

Australia’s national health scheme, unless you are covered by a

reciprocal health care agreement.

If you are 75 years of age or over

You may be asked to provide evidence with your application

that you have health insurance to cover your stay in Australia.

More information about health insurance is available from the

department’s website www.border.gov.au/trav/visi/visi

The following condition may be applied to your visa:

Visa condition 8503

No further stay.

Following an assessment of your application, a visa officer may

decide to apply the 8503 condition on your visa. The 8503 (or

No Further Stay) condition means that the holder of the visa

on which the condition has been imposed will not, after

entering Australia, be entitled to be granted any other visa,

while the holder remains in Australia.

The effect of this visa condition is that it will not be possible

for you to apply to remain in Australia beyond the authorised

period of stay of your visa. It is particularly important, if your

visit to Australia is to attend a specific event, that you organise

your travel so that you can attend these events within your

authorised period of stay as you will not be able to extend

your period of stay in Australia.

If the 8503 condition is imposed on your visa, it will be

indicated on the letter advising you of the grant of your visa,

with the words 8503 – NO FURTHER STAY.

Visa Application Charge

correct charge and make payment.

before they can be granted a visa. It is strongly recommended

that the passport be valid for at least 6 months.

If you change your passport after you have been granted the

visa you must notify the nearest Australian Visa Office or office

of the department.

passport showing your photo and details. Please keep a copy of

the Visa Grant Notification in a safe place for your reference.

during the period that your application is being considered.

application being invalid. A post office box address will not be

accepted as your residential address.

Change of address

If you change your residential address for more than 14 days

while your application is being processed, you must tell the

department your new address and how long you will be there.

The department will send communication about your

application to the latest address for correspondence you have

provided.

Immigration assistance

A person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses,

or claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in

migration procedure to assist you with your visa application,

request for ministerial intervention, cancellation review

application, sponsorship or nomination.

In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration

assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is

exempt from being registered. Only registered migration agents

may receive a fee or reward for providing immigration

assistance.

If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from

registration, gives you immigration assistance they are

committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.

Migration agents in Australia

Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the

Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of

the MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.

Migration agents outside Australia

Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be

registered. The department may give some overseas agents an ID

number. This number does not mean that they are registered

Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate

overseas.

Migration agent information

A migration agent is someone who can:

• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;

• tell you the documents you need to submit with your

application;

• help you fill in the application and submit it; and

• communicate with the department on your behalf.

If you appoint a migration agent, the department will assume

that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient,

unless you indicate otherwise.

Your migration agent will be the person with whom the

department will discuss your application and from whom it

will seek further information when required.

You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you

use a migration agent, the department encourages you to use

a registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by

the Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them

to act professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.

Information on migration agents, including a list of registered

migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA

website www.mara.gov.au

You can also access information about migration agents on the

department’s website www.border.gov.au

Exempt persons

The following people do not have to be a registered migration

agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they

must not charge a fee for their service:

• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child,

parent, brother or sister);

• a member of parliament or their staff;

• an official whose duties include providing immigration

assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);

• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or

international organisation.

may still authorise another person, in writing, to receive

written communications on your behalf. This person is called

the authorised recipient.

Authorised recipient information

your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to

have health and/or character information sent directly to you.

Consent to communicate electronically

The department may use a range of means to communicate

with you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will

only be used if you indicate your agreement to receiving

communication in this way.

To process your application the department may need to

communicate with you about sensitive information, for

example, health, police checks, financial viability and personal

relationships. Electronic communications, unless adequately

encrypted, are not secure and may be viewed by others or

interfered with.

If you agree to the department communicating with you by

them, unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use

them for another purpose, or you have consented to use for

another purpose. They will not be added to any mailing list.

security or integrity of any information sent to the department

over the internet or by other electronic means.
