My wife and children are studying in New Zealand, and now I want to apply for a visa to visit relatives in Australia, because there are relatives in Australia. What materials do I need?

The duration of a visa can be three months, six months, or longer. The allowed stay time depends on the applicant's situation and the purpose of visiting Australia. If the applicant is considering applying for a visa to stay for six months or more, the visa officer will consider all the circumstances of the applicant, including the relationship with relatives in Australia, and make a decision on the length of the visa stay. Visas for a stay of 12 months are generally only issued to parents of Australian citizens/permanent residents who have applied for parental immigration.

A visit visa does not require a medical examination unless the applicant:

1) elderly people over 75 years old

2) Applicants need to apply to stay in Australia for more than 3 months.

3) Applicants need to attend a study course in Australia for more than 4 weeks.

Unlike student visas, there is no fixed amount of guarantee for visiting relatives visas. If less funds are provided, the risk is higher. If the applicant has a good job and a high income, the guarantee may be less than 654.38+ 10,000. Therefore, applicants who apply for a visit visa must communicate with the consultant in detail about the actual situation at home.

There is no requirement of deposit history for the fund guarantee of visiting relatives visa, so parents don't have to deposit in advance as they did when preparing student visas at that time.

Applicants with tourist visas are not allowed to work during their stay in Australia.

There is also a visiting visa type called 679 visiting relatives. This kind of visa is unacceptable in China and only suitable for some special applicants.

Visa 679: 1) can only be accepted by Australian immigration authorities.

2) It only takes 5 working days from the submission of materials to the issuance of visas in AU.

3) As for the financial guarantee, Australian relatives or applicants provide the basic living expenses of 12000 Australian dollars every year, which is not only the bank's certificate, but also the money that the Immigration Bureau will take away until the applicant leaves Australia safely and on time. Visa 676, only the bank can show proof of the cost of this money.
