Tourist Visas: 3, 6 or 12 months

If you don’t hold a passport from an ETA-eligible country, or you want to visit Australia as a tourist for longer than 3 months, you’ll need to apply for the long-stay tourist visa (subclass 676). The Australian Visa Bureau provides an online application for this, although you must be from a country listed as a Tourist Visa (subclass 676) eligible country.

Additionally, visitors to Australia must be willing and able to abide by the visa validity and conditions while in Australia. If you do not abide by these conditions, your visa may be cancelled or you may be subject to other penalties.

Tourist Visa (subclass 676) holders must conduct themselves according to the following rules:

• The holder must not engage in work in Australia; unless it is as part of an unpaid volunteer work tourism scheme, and your main purpose in visiting Australia is tourism, and no remuneration of any kind is involved;
• While in Australia the holder must not engage, for more than 3 months, in any studies or training;
• If the holder is at least 11 years of age and:
• Is from a country other than a country that is designated, by Gazette Notice, as a country in relation to which this condition does not apply; and
• Intends to study in a class-room environment for a period greater than 4 weeks
• then the holder must, before commencing that study, pass a chest X-ray examination carried out by a medical practitioner who is qualified as a radiologist;
• The holder will not, after entering Australia, be entitled to a substantive visa, other than a protection visa, while the holder remains in Australia; and
• The holder must depart within the validity of the Tourist Visa.
