The difference between Australian visitor visa and tourist visa

Many overseas students plan to visit their children in Australia because their parents are worried about their children's life in Australia. They don't know whether to apply for a visitor visa or a tourist visa. Although both family visit visas and tourist visas belong to Australia 600 visas, there are still many differences between them, especially for students with immigration plans, parents have to apply for family visit visas. The following 86 specifically analyzes the differences between the two visas. First, the purpose of going to Australia.

The visa for visiting relatives is mainly for students, and parents go to Australia to see their children. This visa is the best explanation.

Tourist visa, the purpose of going to Australia is to travel. Although the main purpose is to look after children, the visa officer only thinks that you are going to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Australia.

Second, the risks of visas are different.

The visa for visiting relatives is mainly students. It is natural for parents to visit their children. If parents stay in Australia, it will have a negative impact on students' visas. Of course, parents will not delay students' normal studies, so the risk of visiting relatives is very small.

A tourist visa is a simple tour for you, but the funds are guaranteed and the risks are very great. On the one hand, visa officers want you to know Australia, on the other hand, they are worried that you will never come back to Australia, so the risk of tourist visas is much greater.

Third, the time of visa.

First of all, the time for visa officers to apply for visas. The visa for visiting relatives is subject to the student holiday. The visa officer will consider the student's time, and the visa time will be faster. If you get a visa within 3 days at the earliest during off-peak hours, you can also get a visit visa within a week or two.

Tourist visas are purely personal activities, and visa officers will process them according to the normal cycle of 4-8 weeks. Secondly, the duration of the visa. According to my experience, a family visit visa is generally an unlimited number of round-trip visas within one year, while a tourist visa is generally a one-time visa for three months.

Fourth, the impact on immigrants.

If parents plan to apply for family reunion immigration in the future, then the visit visa is a good visa record, which is more convincing than a simple tourist visa.

The above is the general difference between visiting relatives visa and tourist visa. If my parents plan to visit relatives in Australia, I suggest contacting me three months in advance, so that we can get visas as soon as possible and book air tickets and hotels in advance, because you know that booking in advance can save you a lot of money.
