Australia Visitor Visa (Subclass 600)
A Visitor Visa, or tourist visa, is a non-immigrant visa that allows a person to enter Australia temporarily for tourism or to visit family.
What you can and cannot do with an Australia Visitor Visa
If you hold a visitor visa, you are allowed to do the following:
- Visit the destination country
- Visit friends or family (although rules may vary by country)
- Visit tourist attractions
- Take short courses
- Attend business meetings
And the following are things you are not allowed to do if you only hold a visitor visa:

These rules may vary depending on each country, so you need to read the regulations for the relevant country.
