, I want to travel to Australia. But I don’t know exactly what documents are required and whether a financial guarantee is required.

The Australian tourist visa[1] is a type of Australian visitor visa. There are various types of visitor visas to choose from depending on the purpose of the visit. Currently, the main application in my country is the 676 tourist visa.

If your purpose of visiting Australia is to travel to Australia for vacation, sightseeing in Australia, visiting relatives and friends, purchasing private real estate, and going to Australia for a short-term business visit, the best option is to apply for a tourist visa (category 676) ). This type of tourist visa is the most suitable for personal travel or visits to Australia. It does not require a large deposit and allows you to move freely within Australia.

Applicants who go to Australia for vacation, sightseeing or visiting relatives and friends can also apply for a sponsored relative visit visa (category 679) if they have relatives in Australia and are willing to sponsor them. The application location for this type of visa is in Australia and is reviewed and approved by the local Australian Immigration Bureau. It cannot be submitted in China.

ADS visa is limited to tourists who are traveling abroad as part of a tour group in China. The Chinese explanation of the visa is "approved tourist destination country". After adding an ADS visa, you can only travel in the approved tourist destination country. This visa cannot be endorsed or extended within the destination country. People holding this kind of visa must travel in and out of a group. At the same time, domestic travel agencies also charge personal deposits.

According to different circumstances, you can apply for a single-entry or multiple-entry visa for an Australian tourist visa. The stay period for traveling in Australia is 3 months, 6 months or 12 months at a time. part. Applicants can apply for the corresponding number of entries and length of stay as needed. The visa officer will decide whether to grant the corresponding visa based on the applicant's personal situation. Under normal circumstances, a 3-month tourist visa can basically meet the needs of tourists. If you require a visa for a longer stay, certain conditions need to be met. For example: the applicant's child is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and an immigration application has been submitted and is in the process of application. In this case, the immigration officer will consider approving a longer-term tourist visa. Or you are traveling to Australia for business and need to extend it to 6 months or 1 year due to business work requirements.

The Australian tourist visa is a visa category designed to meet the needs of applicants for short-term visits to Australia. Therefore, under normal circumstances, this visa does not allow you to stay in Australia for more than 12 months.
