If you are granted a visa, carefully check the details and conditions on the letter advising you of the grant of your visa.
If you have any concerns or questions about the requirements or limitations, you should contact the office that granted that visa. You should not assume that any changes to your immigration status can be made while in Australia.

Supporting documents and additional information
Part J – Application checklist on page 12 contains information about supporting documentation. If you are lodging your application overseas, you should also check the website of your nearest Australian Visa Office www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/
Extending your stay in Australia
If you are applying for a new visa while in Australia you must apply for a new visa before your current visa expires. You cannot apply for a further Visitor visa – Business Visitor stream in Australia. The best time to apply for a new visa is about 2 weeks before the expiry of your current visa. Please bear in mind that the grant of a new visa will cease any visa currently held and the entitlements attached to that visa. If, for example, you currently have work rights or formal study entitlements, those entitlements will cease when a Visitor visa is granted.
Health requirementsAll applicants must meet Australia’s health requirements. You may be required to undergo a chest x-ray and medical examination in order to meet the criteria for the grant of a subclass 600 visa.
Please follow any directions given by the visa processing officer as to medical or x-ray examinations that may be required.
Additional information regarding the health requirement for temporary entry into Australia is available on the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/health-exam.htm
Health insurance requirementsMedical treatment in Australia can be very expensive. It is recommended that you take out health insurance for your period of stay in Australia. You will not be covered by Australia’s national health scheme, unless you are covered by a reciprocal health care agreement.
If you are 75 years of age or over
You may be asked to provide evidence with your application that you have health insurance to cover your stay in Australia. More information about health insurance is available from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/visitors/
The following condition may be applied to your visa:
Visa condition 8503
No further stay.
Following an assessment of your application, a visa officer may decide to apply the 8503 condition on your visa. The 8503 (or No Further Stay) condition means that the holder of the visa on which the condition has been imposed will not, after entering Australia, be entitled to be granted any other visa, while the holder remains in Australia.
The effect of this visa condition is that it will not be possible for you to apply to remain in Australia beyond the authorised period of stay of your visa. It is particularly important, if your visit to Australia is to attend a specific event, that you organise your travel so that you can attend these events within your authorised period of stay as you will not be able to extend your period of stay in Australia.
If the 8503 condition is imposed on your visa, it will be indicated on the letter advising you of the grant of your visa, with the words 8503 – NO FURTHER STAY.
Visa Application ChargeRefer to Part I – Payment details of this form to calculate the correct charge and make payment.
Refer to www.immi.gov.au/fees-charges for a complete and current list of applicable fees and charges.
Fees and charges may be subject to change at any time and this may increase the cost of a visa application.
Generally, Visa Application Charges are reviewed on 1 July each year, and the exchange rates used to calculate the amount payable in a foreign country are updated on 1 January and 1 July each year.
If you do not pay the full Visa Application Charge amount, your visa application will not be valid.
Charges are generally not refundable, even if the application is withdrawn or refused.
Methods of paymentPayment or evidence of payment must accompany your application.
Please check the How to apply information to find out how and where you need to lodge the application before you choose your payment method.
Note: Personal and travellers’ cheques are not accepted.
Outside Australia
Before making a payment outside Australia, please check with the Australian Government office where you intend to lodge your application as to what methods of payment and currencies they can accept and to whom the payment should be made payable.
Information on where to lodge an application outside Australia is also available from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/
VaccinationsIf it is your intention to enrol your children in an Australian school or childcare centre (crèche or preschool) during your visit to Australia, you are strongly encouraged to carry certification of your child’s vaccination status. Certification may be sought at time of enrolment.
Vaccination is recommended against polio, tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenza hypo (Hib) and Hepatitis B.
Note: Vaccination against rubella is also recommended for women of child bearing age.
Passport informationMost visa applicants will be required to hold a valid passport before they can be granted a visa. It is strongly recommended that the passport be valid for at least 6 months.
If you change your passport after you have been granted the visa you must notify the nearest Australian Visa Office or office of the department.
If you do not provide us with the details of any new or additional passport you use to travel to Australia, you may experience significant delays at the airport and may be denied permission to board your plane.
Do NOT send your passport with your visa application Provide with your visa application a certified copy of the page from your passport showing your photo and details. Please keep a copy of the Visa Grant Notification in a safe place for your reference.
Residential addressYou must provide the address of where you intend to live during the period that your application is being considered. Failure to give your residential address will result in this application being invalid. A post office box address will not be accepted as your residential address.
Change of addressIf you change your residential address for more than 14 days while your application is being processed, you must tell the department your new address and how long you will be there. The department will send communication about your application to the latest address for correspondence you have provided.
Modified Non-Return Rate dataThe Modified Non-Return Rate (MNRR) is a calculation of the people who arrive on a Visitor visa, but do not depart before their visa expires, other than those who are granted Skilled, Visitor or Student visas in Australia.
The MNRR is used as an indicator of Visitor visa compliance, and may be considered by decision makers to determine the level of scrutiny to apply to the application.
If you are from a country with a high MNRR it is in your interests to provide additional documentation as indicated on page 12, supporting your application.
MNRR data can be found at www.immi.gov.au/media/statistics/visitor.htm
Immigration assistanceA person gives immigration assistance to you if he or she uses, or claims to use, his or her knowledge or experience in migration procedure to assist you with your visa application, request for ministerial intervention, cancellation review application, sponsorship or nomination.
In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is exempt from being registered. Only registered migration agents may receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.
If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from registration, gives you immigration assistance they are committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.
Migration agents in Australia
Migration agents in Australia must be registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (Office of the MARA) unless they are exempt from registration.
Migration agents outside Australia
Migration agents who operate outside Australia do not have to be registered. The department may give some overseas agents an ID number. This number does not mean that they are registered.
Note: Some Australian registered migration agents operate overseas.
Migration agent information
A migration agent is someone who can:
• advise you on the visa that may best suit you;
• tell you the documents you need to submit with your application;
• help you fill in the application and submit it; and
• communicate with the department on your behalf.
If you appoint a migration agent, the department will assume that your migration agent will be your authorised recipient, unless you indicate otherwise.
Your migration agent will be the person with whom the department will discuss your application and from whom it will seek further information when required.
You are not required to use a migration agent. However, if you use a migration agent, the department encourages you to use a registered migration agent. Registered agents are bound by the Migration Agents Code of Conduct, which requires them to act professionally in their clients’ lawful best interests.
Information on migration agents, including a list of registered migration agents, is available on the Office of the MARA website www.mara.gov.au
You can also access information about migration agents on the department’s website www.immi.gov.au
Exempt persons
The following people do not have to be a registered migration agent in order to provide immigration assistance, but they must not charge a fee for their service:
• a close family member (spouse, de facto partner, child, parent, brother or sister);
• a member of parliament or their staff;
• an official whose duties include providing immigration assistance (eg. a Legal Aid provider);
• a member of a diplomatic mission, consular post or international organisation.
To appoint a migration agent/exempt person you should complete Part H – Options for receiving written communications.
Your migration agent/exempt person should complete form 956 Advice by a migration agent/exempt person of providing immigration assistance.
Form 956 is available from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/
Options for receiving written communicationsIf you do not appoint a migration agent/exempt person you may still authorise another person, in writing, to receive written communications on your behalf. This person is called the authorised recipient.
Authorised recipient information
All written communication about your application will be sent to your authorised recipient, unless you indicate that you wish to have health and/or character information sent directly to you.
The department will communicate with the most recently appointed authorised recipient as you may only appoint one authorised recipient at any time for a particular application.
You will be taken to have received any documents sent to that person as if they had been sent to you.
To appoint an authorised recipient you should complete:• Part H – Options for receiving written communications; and• form 956A Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised
recipient.

Consent to communicate electronicallyThe department may use a range of means to communicate with you. However, electronic means such as fax or email will only be used if you indicate your agreement to receiving communication in this way.
To process your application the department may need to communicate with you about sensitive information, for example, health, police checks, financial viability and personal relationships. Electronic communications, unless adequately encrypted, are not secure and may be viewed by others or interfered with.
If you agree to the department communicating with you by electronic means, the details you provide will only be used by the department for the purpose for which you have provided them, unless there is a legal obligation or necessity to use them for another purpose, or you have consented to use for another purpose.
