The eVisitor visa (Subclass 651) is designed for individuals wanting to visit Australia for tourism or business purposes. It allows multiple entries to Australia within a 12-month period, staying up to three months per visit. This visa can be applied for and granted electronically, linked to your passport. However, it only applies to specific country passports only.
Here’s what you can typically do with a 651 visa:
Eligible Passport: This visa is specifically available to citizens of the following countries:
Health requirements: You may be required to undertake a health check before you can be granted this visa.
Character requirements: You might be required to provide the police check for every country you spent for 12 months or more.
No debt to Australian Government: If you or your family member have a debt to the Australian Government, you need to pay back or arranged to pay back that debt.
Genuine Visitor: You must have no intention to overstay your visa or seek permanent residency in Australia.
Step 1: Prepare the required documentation
The application process for this visa is swift and straightforward, requiring minimal documentation. You will primarily need your passport and character documents (you may be required to provide police certificate/s).
Step 2: Apply online through ImmiAccount
You must apply for this visa through ImmiAccount. Please bear in mind that you should submit all the required documents to avoid the delay in visa processing.
Step 3: Wait for the visa outcome
You cannot include your family member to this visa. Each individual applicant needs to submit a separate application via the ImmiAccount.
The visa typically allows stays of up to three months per visit within a 12-month period from the date of grant or the length of stay permitted on each entry.
The eVisitor visa generally does not permit work or study in Australia. It’s primarily for short-term visits related to tourism, business, or personal visits.
The eVisitor visa is typically free of charge. However, there might be exceptions or additional fees for certain situations or services associated with the application process. For example, you may need to pay fee to get the police certificate/s.
Processing times are very quick, often taking less than 24 hours. Currently, 90 percent of applications will be processed within 1 day.
Typically, the eVisitor visa must be applied for outside of Australia. You also must be outside Australia when receiving the visa outcome.
There’s generally no limitation on reapplying for an eVisitor visa after it expires, as long as you continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
Having a criminal record may affect your eligibility for the eVisitor visa. If you have a criminal record, you are recommended to apply for a normal visit visa subclass 600.
