Australia Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)

For tourism, visiting, and certain business visits. Lodge online via ImmiAccount.

About this visa

Visitor visa (subclass 600) is the standard route for short-term visits to Australia (tourism, visiting family/friends, and some permitted business activities).

Australia is very evidence-driven: your file should clearly show (1) purpose and itinerary, (2) realistic budget and funds, and (3) strong reasons you will return to Georgia (work/study/family/property/obligations). Applications are typically lodged online through ImmiAccount.

Comparison: Australia is usually more document-heavy than Japan short-stay, and the workflow differs from USA (interview-focused). If you’re choosing between destinations, build one consistent financial and employment story that can support multiple applications.

For transit-only trips, see Australia transit (771). For study, see Student (500).
