Discover Sydney with Confidence
Whether you’re planning a short holiday, visiting family, or exploring business opportunities, the Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) allows you to experience Australia legally and safely.
At IME Advisors Parramatta, our MARA-registered migration agents and immigration agents help travellers, parents, and business visitors apply for the right visa stream — ensuring compliance with all Department of Home Affairs (DHA) conditions.
Types of Visitor Visa 600 Streams
Choose the stream that matches your travel purpose:
- Tourist Stream: For holidays, leisure, or visiting friends/family.
- Business Visitor Stream: For short business trips or meetings.
- Sponsored Family Stream: Requires sponsorship by an Australian citizen or PR holder.
- Approved Destination Status (ADS): For group tours from specific countries.
Each stream has unique eligibility criteria, stay periods, and documentation.
Stay Duration & Visa Conditions
Typical DHA-granted periods include:
- 3, 6 or 12 months stay options.
- No work allowed under any visitor stream.
- Study up to 3 months permitted for short courses.
- Single or Multiple Entry available depending on your application.
Tip: Always check your Visa Grant Notice for conditions like 8503 – No Further Stay, which restricts onshore visa extensions.
Required Documents (2025 Checklist)
To lodge a complete and valid Visitor Visa application, prepare:
- Valid passport (biometric page + travel history)

Can You Extend a Visitor Visa in Sydney?
In most cases, you can apply for another Visitor Visa onshore if Condition 8503 is not imposed.
IME Advisors helps clients request a waiver of Condition 8503 in exceptional circumstances — for example:
- Medical treatment delays or family emergencies
- Flight cancellations or travel restrictions
- Humanitarian reasons supported by evidence
We manage your extension application with updated proof of funds and stay intentions to avoid visa breaches.
