FAQs
Visitor Visa Subclass 600 may have certain conditions attached, depending on the specific circumstances of the applicant. While Statewide Migration can provide personalized advice based on your situation, here are some common conditions that may be attached to this visa subclass:
- Condition 8101: This condition restricts the visa holder from engaging in work while in Australia. It is applicable to most Visitor Visa Subclass 600 holders.
- Condition 8201: This condition requires the visa holder not to study for more than three months while in Australia. If the purpose of the visit involves longer-term study, a different visa subclass may be more suitable.

- Condition 8531: This condition requires the visa holder to maintain health insurance for the duration of their stay in Australia. It ensures that the visa holder is financially responsible for any healthcare costs incurred during their visit.
Please note that the conditions attached to Visitor Visa Subclass 600 can vary based on individual circumstances, visa stream, and specific requirements. It’s essential to consult with Statewide Migration to understand the conditions that may apply to your particular visa application and how they can affect your stay in Australia.
Condition 8503, which prevents the visa holder from applying for another visa while in Australia, is a discretionary condition that may be waived in certain circumstances.
However, the decision to waive this condition is at the discretion of the Department of Home Affairs. To request a waiver of Condition 8503, you would generally need to provide compelling and compassionate reasons for the waiver, such as unforeseen circumstances or significant changes in your personal circumstances that necessitate the need for a different visa while in Australia.
Statewide Migration can assist you in assessing your situation and determining whether you may be eligible for a waiver of Condition 8503. However, please note that the decision to grant a waiver rests solely with the Department of Home Affairs, and each case is evaluated on an individual basis.
In certain circumstances, it is possible to extend a Visitor Visa Subclass 600. However, it’s important to note that Visitor Visa extensions are generally granted only in exceptional cases, such as unforeseen or compassionate circumstances that prevent you from leaving Australia as planned.
To apply for a Visitor Visa extension, you would need to submit a new visa application before your current visa expires. It’s crucial to apply for an extension well in advance to allow for processing time and avoid any unlawful stay in Australia.
Statewide Migration can provide guidance and assistance with the Visitor Visa extension process, helping you understand the requirements and necessary documentation for a successful application. However, it’s important to note that the decision to grant an extension lies solely with the Department of Home Affairs, and meeting the eligibility criteria is crucial.
Additionally, for students under the age of 18, there may be additional requirements and conditions in place to ensure their welfare and accommodation arrangements while studying in Australia. These requirements may include the appointment of a guardian or the submission of a welfare arrangement.
If you are considering extending your Visitor Visa, it is advisable to consult with Statewide Migration or seek professional advice to understand your specific circumstances and the best course of action to take.
