If you want to travel to Australia for tourism, to visit your family or for business and your passport is not one of those eligible for the eVisitor 651 or the ETA 601, the visa that applies to you is the visitor visa, subclass 600. It is paid and somewhat more demanding in documentation, so preparing it well makes the difference between a smooth approval and a rejection. Here we explain everything, updated for 2026.

1. What the subclass 600 visa (Visitor) is

The subclass 600 is the general tourist/visitor visa for Australia, available to any nationality. It is granted by the Government of Australia and has several streams depending on the purpose of the trip. The decision to grant it rests exclusively with the Department of Home Affairs.

2. Who needs it

💡 Do you have a European passport (Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Portugal…)? Then you are probably eligible for the eVisitor 651, which is free. We help you confirm what your case is.

3. What it lets you do (and what it doesn't)

4. Requirements

5. How much it costs and how long it lasts

The subclass 600 has an official Government fee that is paid directly to the Government of Australia (and may be updated each year). The length of stay granted is usually 3, 6 or 12 months, at the Government's discretion depending on your case.

The fee and conditions are set by the Government of Australia and may change. Always check them on the official site.

6. How to apply step by step

  1. Confirm that your case is the subclass 600 (and not 651/601).
  2. Gather the documentation: passport, funds, ties, purpose of the trip.
  3. Complete the application online and pay the fee to the Government.
  4. Provide supporting documents that are consistent and well presented.
  5. Wait for the decision from the Department of Home Affairs.
