    How long can I stay in Australia on a visitor visa?

    Tourist and business visitor visas typically allow stays up to 3, 6, or 12 months per visit. The duration granted depends on your individual circumstances and purpose of visit. Multiple entries are usually allowed within the visa validity period.

    Can I work in Australia on a visitor visa?

    Can I extend my visitor visa while in Australia?

    In limited circumstances, you may be able to extend your visitor visa or apply for a new visitor visa while in Australia. However, it's generally better to apply for the appropriate duration initially. Extensions are not guaranteed.
