Visitor visas are a special subclass tourist and business visa for citizens of European countries. People who wish to take a short trip, whether for work, to visit family and friends, or relax can apply online for a Visitor visa, which is valid for three months within a 12-month period. Once approved, a Visitor visa is automatically linked to your passport so airlines and airport officials will know immediately that you hold a Visitor visa. No other documentation is needed. When bringing family to Australia, keep in mind that separate Visitor applications are required for each family member. Applications for a Visitor visa must be applied for from outside Australia
