Depending on the reason for your trip to Australia and your country of origin, you will need a visa to come to Australia. The Australian Embassy or Consular Representative in your Country is the place to get information about the type of visa you need and documents required. However, we will describe the main types of visas to give you an idea of what they are about. The duration of your visa and the type of documents required can vary from country to country.

Tourist Visa: Is for those intending to visit Australia for a period of not more than 3 months. Sometimes this visa can be renewed for another 3 months or the issuer may give you less than that. You are NOT allowed to work in Australia with a tourist visa, and if your visa gets close to its expiration date, you must renew it with the Department of Immigration before it expires or you will be illegal in the country. You can study in Australia with a Tourist Visa as long as the course duration doesn't exceed 11 weeks.

Student Visa: Is for those intending to study in Australia for a period of more than 12 weeks and studying full time (more than 25 hours per week).
