Australian visas have been reformed recently. According to the latest news, overseas tourists can apply for tourist visas free of charge from February 27th.

1. Applicants must apply abroad.

2. The application period is from February 27th, 221 to December 31st, 222.

3. Persons who have applied for tourist visas abroad before March 21st, 221.

5. The previous visa has not been used

6. This policy can only be used once, and you can't apply for this free visa again, regardless of whether the visa application result produced by this policy is signed or refused.

Precautions

Previous tourist visas must be applied overseas, and domestic ones cannot be re-applied for free.

to meet the requirements of the above three different time points/periods.

If it is a single-entry visa and you have entered Australia with this visa, you cannot re-apply for it free of charge. Multiple entry visas, whether they have not yet entered the country or left the country after entering the country, can be re-applied free of charge.

This kind of free travel visa, whether approved or rejected, will not be free to apply later. However, if the application is cancelled or invalid, there will be another free application opportunity.

To sum up, this regulation only applies to applicants outside Australia

Only when three time nodes (application time, expiration time and new travel visa application time) are met can the application fee be exempted;

If the applicant holds a single-entry tourist visa and has already entered Australia, he cannot re-apply for it free of charge;

If the applicant holds a multiple-entry tourist visa, regardless of whether he has ever entered Australia, he can be exempted from the application fee as long as he is abroad now;

tourist visas that have been applied for free, regardless of whether the result is approval or rejection, cannot be enjoyed free after application.

So, if you want to apply for an Australian tourist visa for free, there are still quite a few conditions you need to meet! The good news is that although the Australian border is not open at present, most temporary visa holders are unable to enter the country, but the current visa-free immigration has shown a relaxed trend!
