SUBCLASS 600 VISA – INCREASE YOUR RATES WITH OUR USEFUL INFORMATION

Australian Visitor Visa – Subclass 600 will be the “ticket” to allow you to come to Australia to travel and discover great things about the country.

What is a Subclass 600 visa?

A Subclass 600 visa helps you travel and visit relatives in Australia.

 

It depends on the streams, purposes, and your circumstances, based on which the case officer of the DHA will decide on the visa duration. But usually, if you are young and applying for a Subclass 600 visa for the first time, Australia may only allow you to stay for 1 month.

 

Especially with this visa, Australia does not require English conditions! However, if you have a basic knowledge of English, it will be easier for you to adjust to life in Australia.

In order for your Australian travel journey to reap many interesting and meaningful things, you should refer to VEM’s English training program. This is a highly applicable program that helps you a lot during your stay in Australia.

Processing times of a Subclass 600 visa

When there’s no Covid-19, Australia only took a few weeks to approve Visitor visas. When the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, the question of “How long does a Subclass 600 visa take to process?” has become a major concern.

 

Tourist VisasSponsored Family VisaBusiness Visitor Visa
75% of applications are processed within63 days4 months24 days
90% of applications are processed within4 months5 months41 days

 

Australian Visitor visa is suitable for many people. Moreover, this visa processing time is significantly shorter than other visa types.

 

But, you should not apply for a visa when the profile is not perfect. If you do not prepare carefully, there is a high risk that you will fail your visa. This will definitely make it harder for you to apply for a visa again in the future.

Therefore, you should contact VEM to know how to make the proper Visitor visa application. Accompanying with VEM, make sure that when Australia reopens to tourism, you will be able to come to Australia as soon as possible.

Cost of a Subclass 600 visa

Different stream has different costs:

 

StreamsCosts

(not including 1.4% surcharge)

Tourist VisasApply outside of Australia: 150AUD
Sponsored Family Visa150AUD.

The DHA may ask your sponsor to pay for a security bond.

Business Visitor Visa150AUD.

 

In addition to the cost of applying for a visa, you must pay additional fees for police checks, health checks, biometrics, or other notarized documents if required.

 

Australian Visitor visa fee is one of the cheapest visa fees today. Maybe this won’t be a problem for you. But if you do not pay attention to the application, you are very likely to fail the Subclass 600 visa. As a result, subsequent Australian visa applications will be more difficult, because your application has been marked as a visa failure.

 

A typical example is the unfortunate case of a client who recently contacted VEM. Not only did she fail her Subclass 600 visa, but she was also banned from applying for a visa for three years.

The reason is that the unit making the application for her did not provide accurate information in the declarations. She came to VEM for support because she knew that VEM’s consultant was licensed by the Australian Government. Thus, you can rest assured of the information declared in your visa application.

To avoid falling into a similar situation, you should contact VEM to get an experienced immigration consultant to help prepare your application thoroughly.

Client’s successful story

After consulting with VEM’s professional specialist, Mrs. Thi Thuy An Duong and her husband – Mr. Brett Campbell Mcmiles decided to choose VEM as a representative to process the application for subclass 309 Partner visa.
While waiting for a Subclass 309, Mr. Phong Cao assisted her family in processing a tourist visa (subclass 600) so that she could go to Australia with her husband. And recently, Mrs. An has been granted a tourist visa by the Australian Government!

 

You also need to know that people often face many difficulties when applying for an Australian visa under the Subclass 600 partly because they do not have much experience in paperwork and procedures. The other part is that they do not know how to present the evidence to satisfy the requirements.

In addition, young single people are often classified by Australia as at risk of overstaying their visas. This is a situation that Australia always tries to control when issuing an Australian Visitor visa.

 

If you are having trouble getting a Subclass visa or have not found a way to convince the Australian Government that you will comply with your visa’s deadline, you should contact VEM. Because we are an experienced unit in this matter and have also supported many young people to apply for this visa.

 

Evidence for this information is the case of a specific client. With support from VEM, Ms. Diem Lin Truong successfully applied for a visa to travel to Australia.

Recently, Diem Lin also completed her wonderful Australia tour. Let’s look at Australia through the sincere sharing of this young woman through the video below.

Experience of children’s application for a Subclass 600 visa

Are children exempt from Australian Subclass 600 visas?

With a Subclass 600 visa, you cannot bring family members (including children) with you on your visa. If you want to bring your children to Australia, you must apply for a separate visa for them.

The procedure to apply for an Australian visa for children you must understand

To avoid the case that you pass the visa but the child fails, you should understand the Australian visa procedure for children. In addition, according to Australian regulations, if children under the age of 18 want to come to Australia with a Subclass 600 visa, they must be accompanied by someone over 18 years old.

What is the reason why the Australian visa application for children is refused?

To avoid visa refusal, the child also needs to meet the criteria that Australia sets for applicants (mentioned above in the article). In addition, if the child comes to Australia on a sponsored family visa, the child sponsor must also meet Australia’s requirements.

Therefore, you should look to an experienced immigration consultant like VEM for the best help.
