    Understanding the Subclass 600 Visitor Visa for Australia

    Planning to visit Australia as a genuine visitor? Apply for visitor visa subclass 600 Australia. One basic requirement is that you must be here only as a tourist for visiting purposes or depending on the stream you’re applying for. There are six streams under this visa, and these are:

    • Tourist Stream (Offshore)
    • Tourist Stream (Onshore)
    • Sponsored Family Stream
    • Business Visitor Stream
    • Approved Destination Status
    • Frequent Traveller Stream

    Tourist Stream (Offshore)

    For applicants outside Australia who want to be in the country for 3 to 12 months to go on a cruise for pleasure or visit family and friends.

    Tourist Stream (Onshore)

    The best option for applicants who have an expiring visa and they want to extend their stay here, provided it’s only for temporary visit purposes and not for business or healthcare treatment.

    Sponsored Family Stream

    You must have a sponsoring family member who is an Australian citizen/permanent resident and who may also have to pay a security bond for your temporary visit.

    Business Visitor Stream

    This temporary visa lets you conduct business visitor activities such as making business enquiries or be engaged in contract negotiations, but not actually work and sell products or services.

    Approved Destination Status

    Exclusive for eligible People’s Republic of China (PRC) citizens touring Australia. This tour must be organised by an authorised travel agent who will also apply for this visa stream on your behalf.

    Frequent Traveller Stream

    Eligible PRC citizens (except SARs) can be a tourist and cruise, visit family and friends, and conduct business activities on this visa with a three-month validity for each visit and 10 years in total.

    Australia Visitor Visa Subclass 600 Requirements

    Check out these basic qualifying requirements to get a visitors visa subclass 600 in Australia, namely:

    • You must be a genuine temporary visitor or entrant who only intends to stay for the short period specified in your visa
    • You must have enough funds to support yourself during the entirety of your stay in Australia
    • You must satisfy both the Department’s health and character requirements

    These are the main requirements for the subclass 600 visitor visa, which is a temporary visa. You cannot include family members in your application nor extend your stay. You must lodge a new application for a suitable visa once your current temporary visa expires.

    Australian Visitor Visa Subclass 600 Document Checklist

    You must supply sufficient supporting documents that prove you don’t intend to stay in Australia longer than you should. These genuine visitor documents are:

    Proof of Adequate Funds

    You must convince the assessing officers that you can shoulder your financial expenses for the entirety of your visiting period. These include recent payslips, tax records, itemised bank statements, credit card statements, and term deposits, among other things.

    Invitation Letter from an Australian Relative or Friend

    If your application is due to an invitation from an Australian relative or friend, you must provide a letter stating their relationship to you, why you were invited and how long they want you to stay, whether you will stay with them and, if they will pay for your expenses, they, too, must show evidence of adequate funds.

    Proof of Intention to Return Home

    Another way to prove your being a genuine temporary visitor is providing evidence that you intend to return to your home country. It could be a letter from your boss saying you’ve pledged to return to your work, school records that show you’re presently studying, evidence that you have a family back home who needs you, or proof of property ownership or other assets.

    Aside from these, it’s imperative that you submit identification documents, a police clearance, and health certificate if requested.

      On 13 July, I had an appointment with Mr. Usman and Mr. Billah at their Dhaka branch. I was satisfied with the advice they provided regarding my situation, and I was told to contact Mr. Usman once he returned to Sydney from Dhaka, which was expected to be in early August. On 10 August, I followed up by email, asking Mr. Usman and Mr. Billah CC’d, whether they were still interested in taking on my case. However, from 10 August until now (about 2 months later), I have received no response from Parish Immigration. For anyone considering seeking legal advice from Parish, I would highly recommend confirming upfront whether they are interested in handling your case. Otherwise you’ll be wasting a significant amount of valuable time chasing them. The communication after my initial consultation was extremely confusing. During the consultation, they seemed eager to assist me with my case. However, later they did not respond to my follow up emails or even let me know whether or not they were interested in proceeding with my case

      One of the most disappointing experiences I have had when seeking professional legal assistance. My experience with Mahalingam Sutharshan (Shan) was absolutely unacceptable. His arrogant attitude, dismissive manner, and apparent unwillingness to provide advice left me extremely frustrated. When someone approaches a lawyer/agent , they expect professionalism, respect, and proper guidance—not an arrogant attitude that makes them feel as though their concerns are beneath consideration. Unfortunately, I felt that I received none of the professionalism or courtesy I expected. What disappointed me most was his attitude towards someone who was simply seeking legal advice. Basic respect and professional communication should be the bare minimum for anyone working in the legal profession. In my experience, the interaction fell well below that standard. I left the interaction feeling that my time had been wasted and my concerns had not been given proper consideration. A professional title means very little if the person behind it cannot communicate respectfully with people seeking assistance. Based on my personal experience, I would not choose to deal with Mahalingam Sutharshan (Shan) again. This experience has left me with a very negative impression, and I sincerely hope the firm takes complaints about client treatment seriously. People seeking legal help deserve respect, courtesy, and clear communication—not an experience that leaves them feeling dismissed and disrespected.

      I am normally very hesitant to write Google reviews, but in this case, I genuinely feel that a review is well deserved. Mr Usman looked after my SC 186 visa application and successfully guided me through the process until my visa was granted. Before meeting Usman, I sought advice from one of the well-known immigration agents on social media. Unfortunately, rather than taking the time to understand my circumstances, they immediately advised me to pursue a student visa. Usman, however, took the time to properly understand my situation and confidently recommended that I proceed with the SC 186 visa application. He not only recommended the right pathway for my circumstances but also remained highly professional throughout the entire process. He consistently kept me updated and ensured that I understood the key information and requirements at every stage of the application. My nomination was approved without receiving any S56 request, which made the process even smoother and less stressful. Usman's advice has not only helped me avoid future stress and significant financial pressure, but it also ultimately allowed me to obtain permanent residency rather than continue paying tuition fees and living with the uncertainty associated with temporary visas. What impressed me most about Usman is his sincerity, honesty, professionalism, experience, and genuine passion for what he does. He truly cares about his clients and uses his knowledge and experience to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I would like to sincerely thank Usman once again for his guidance, support, and professionalism throughout my journey. I am genuinely grateful for everything you have done for me. May God bless you and your family, Usman. You are truly a gem. 💎

      Parish Patience took care my mother, sisters and all of my family’s visa situation since 2012. After David Bitel passed away he left his amazing lawyers who are not only knowledgeable but also efficient and professional. After many years got my PR sorted by Usman, he was onto it in every single documents and Thanks to Golam as well who always been kind. I’m sure all immigrant knows how difficult these days to get PR, but highly recommend their service who can assist you in all situation.

      6 years ago I found myself in a very difficult immigration situation where I was risking immigration detention, and Parish Patience were the only light of hope in a nightmare immigration loophole. I had consulted with other lawyers who just took thousands of dollars and were misleading and dishonest. When I met with Thong and his amazing team they welcomed me with the upmost care and provided me with clear explanations and guidance. All throughout the process they were available for any questions and support. They anticipated all possibilities, and completed the work in compliance with the immigration laws and I had zero issues with any of the submissions they’ve done on my behalf. I received a double grant two years ago and I am now awaiting for my citizenship ceremony. Parish Patience provides the reliable and professional service you need. Thank you Thong, Marlene, Zinnia for your incredible work.
