Visitor Visas

If you wish to visit Australia for a holiday, sightseeing, or to visit family or friends you will need to apply for a Visitor Visa (Subclass 676). People intending informal study or training for less than 3 months, may also apply for a Visitor Visa. Please note that paid work is not allowed on a visitor visa.
