Integrity of application
The department is committed to maintaining the integrity of
the visa and citizenship programmes. In relation to this
application, if you or a member of your family unit:
• provide, or have provided in a previous application,
fraudulent documents or false or misleading information
(knowingly or not); and/or
• fail to satisfy, or have failed to satisfy in a previous
application, the Minister of your or their identity;
this visa application may be refused and you, and any
members of your family unit, may become unable to be
granted a visa for specified periods of time, as set out in

If documents are found to be fraudulent or information to be

Visa validity
This visa generally allows stays of 3 or 6 months in Australia,
although a stay of up to 12 months can be granted. However,
the visa period is determined on a case by case basis and may
be less than the period you requested. A stay beyond 12 months
is ONLY granted where ‘exceptional circumstances exist’.
A visa may be granted for a single entry or multiple entries
within a specified period. Generally, this visa allows people to
enter Australia within 12 months from the date of grant.
Conditions for a Visitor visa to Australia
Visitors to Australia must be willing and able to abide by the
conditions listed below while in Australia. If you are unwilling
or unable to abide by these conditions you should not apply
for a visa. If you do not abide by these conditions, your visa
may be cancelled or you may be subject to other penalties. If
you have any questions or concerns about the conditions, you
should ask for more information from an Australian Visa Office
or office of the department in Australia.
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.
Visa conditions
The following conditions will be applied to your visa:
Visa condition 8101
You must NOT work in Australia.
Visa condition 8201
You must NOT study for more than 3 months while in
Australia
The following conditions 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.
