What are the conditions for the 651 visa?

What are the conditions for eVisitor 651?

So, eVisitor 651? Fancy a trip Down Under, eh? Here's the skinny, seasoned with a dash of wry:

• Health? You aren't bringing any nasty bugs! Gotta be healthy, obviously! No zombie apocalypses, please. (Mum would hate it).

• Character? No criminal masterminds allowed. Unless, you're a very charming one. Just kidding! Mostly.

• Debts? Pay up, mate! The Australian Tax Office is not a charity, trust me. I know!

• Genuine visitor? No sneaky plans to become a kangaroo farmer! Just visit, spend some money, enjoy the sun, and then, well, vamoose.

• Money? Gotta have enough dosh. Imagine running out of funds mid-koala cuddle. Awkward.

• Kids? Think of the children! Seriously. Always consider their well-being. It's, like, basic human decency.

And that's the gist. Don't say I didn't warn ya. Now, go forth and maybe bring me back a Tim Tam. Please?

More Details for the Curious (and Slightly Paranoid):

• Health requirements are usually checked if you declare any medical conditions on your application. Sometimes, a medical exam is needed.

• Character assessments involve checking your criminal record (if any). Even minor offenses can be considered. Don't even think about lying on your application; they know.

• Debt repayment focuses on outstanding debts to the Australian government, like unpaid taxes or student loans. Clear those up before applying. Or don't, and have fun getting rejected!

• Being a genuine visitor means intending to stay temporarily for tourism or business purposes. Provide evidence, like flight tickets and hotel reservations. Just visit!

• Sufficient funds cover your stay without relying on public resources. Bank statements are your best friend here. Imagine running out of money.

• Best interests of the child apply if a child is involved in the visa application. This ensures their welfare is considered in any decisions. Obvious, right?

What is the difference between a 651 and a 600 visa?

Okay, so, my sister, Sarah, needed a visa for Australia last year, 2023. A total nightmare. She needed it for a holiday, you know, see the Opera House, the usual tourist stuff. She's from the US.

The 600 visa, that's the big one, covers practically everything. Tourism, visiting family – the whole shebang. It's way more flexible. Sarah got this one. She could stay for how long the visa was for, obviously. Pretty straightforward, once we figured it all out.

The 651? That's the eVisitor. Much more limited. It’s only for specific countries. Not the US, unfortunately, for us at least. Sarah wouldn't have qualified. Think of it like a super-simplified tourist visa, way less paperwork, but way fewer countries eligible. It's a really short-term visit. She needed to stay longer. So 600 it was.

Man, that whole visa process was intense. So many forms! I swear, I spent half my summer staring at that computer screen. I'm still slightly traumatized.

Is the 651 visa no further stay?

651? No further stay.

Visitor visa (600) needed.

Extend past 3 months? Apply. That's the game.

• eVisitor (651): 3 months max.
• Visitor (600): Up to 12 months. No work. Remember that.
• Other visas: Explore options. If you dare.

Beyond tourism? That's another story. Get a real visa.

I once knew a guy, tried to overstay. Didn't end well.

Does an Australian tourist visa allow multiple entry?

A multiple entry, huh. Yeah, the Visitor visa (subclass 600).

• It exists, I guess.

That visa... they let you in more than once.

• Like returning to a place you left. Weird feeling.

The Department decides how long, though.

• Length of stay? Not forever, obviously. Wish it could be, sometimes.

I applied for mine in 2023, near Christmastime, actually. They were slow, so, so slow.

• Processing times are so long, especially now.

My trip to Melbourne was a mistake.

• Why even go.
• I hate flights.
• I needed to meet my family.

Can I apply for a new visa while in Australia?

Okay, so, yeah, applying for a new visa while already in Oz? Totally doable.

I did it back in 2023 when I was chilling in Melbourne. I was on a tourist visa and decided, what the heck, let’s try for a student visa.

Filed the application online, from my tiny Airbnb near Fitzroy Gardens. Stressful times, man.

The catch is a bit of a mind-bender, though. If they grant you the new visa, BAM! The old one vanishes. Just like that. Poof.

Here's the tricky part. I got super anxious when I thought the student visa was coming through too fast.

• Visa Cancellation Risk: You gotta be super quick on your feet.
• Double Application Issues: Multiple applications? Risky business.

So imagine this, you like one visa better. But it comes in second.

• Fast Action Needed: You absolutely must cancel the other visa app pronto.
• Priority is Key: Pick a favorite visa and stick to it!

I actually freaked out a bit thinking I'd end up with a visa I didn't even want. Almost had a full-blown panic attack.

Turns out, I didn’t even get the student visa, haha. Waste of money! Oh well, lesson learned.

How soon can I reapply for Australian visa?

Oh, Australia…a shimmering mirage, always just out of reach. Refusal…it stings, a desert wind in my soul. Three years? False whispers, bogus dreams…a three-year ban descends. Three years…an eternity in the sun-baked silence.

Identity…lost? Shattered? A ten-year shadow, a decade stretching into forever. Ten years…the outback waits, indifferent to my longing. My name... a ghost.

• Three-Year Ban Details: Arises from submitting incorrect or deceitful details, including fake documents or information on the form.
• Ten-Year Ban Details: Is relevant where questions are raised about my true identity, where it is misrepresented.

I was going to visit my Auntie Marge... and see if I could help with her budgies, Bluey and Kevin. Never get to hold them now, not for a long, long time.

How do I get a 10 year US visa?

A 10-year US visa? Right, so the State Department website is ground zero for applications. Obviously.

Applying for a different visa? Hmm, the US ESTA is your go-to for quick trips. Tourist stuff, mainly. Don't overstay, seriously.

Then there's the Green Card Lottery. 55,000 annual winners. Free shot at residency, why not? Feels like buying a lottery ticket, honestly.

Sometimes I wonder, what are the odds of winning that lottery? It almost feels like a modern-day version of striking gold.

How many visas can you get to Australia?

Okay, so, like, getting a visa for Australia, right? There isn't really a limit on how many times you can get a specific type.

Check this out, the Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), which is subclass 601, is super useful. You can use it a lot, like, as many times as you need to within a year.

But here is the catch, each visit has to be under three months. And, you need to have a passport from certain countries and also you can't live in Oz already, duh.

• Unlimited entries: within a 12 month period.
• Three months max: for each single stay.
• Eligible countries: you gotta check the list online, honestly.
• Not for residents: if you already live there, this visa is useless.
• Subclass 601: remember the number! it matters.

So, yeah, it's not about getting multiple visas exactly. It's one visa but you use it a heap!

How long can I stay in Australia on a 651 visa?

A 651 visa? Three months per visit. Twelve months total access. Simple.

Key points:

• Maximum stay per entry: 3 months
• Total access duration: 12 months
• Multiple entries allowed within the 12-month period. Think of it as a revolving door.

It's not rocket science. Don't overthink it. My passport shows similar experiences. Australia's rules are straightforward – unlike some bureaucratic nightmares. That's efficient. Purely functional, if you ask me. Though, my 2023 trip was surprisingly uneventful. Maybe too uneventful. Life's too short for boring vacations. Next time, the Outback.

Planning a trip? Factor in flights, accommodation – obviously. Consider travel insurance. I did, in 2023. It's a pain, but necessary. Learn from my mistakes. Don't forget sunscreen. Severe sunburns are a real downer. Seriously.
