Business Visa to Australia The Best Way to Visit Down Under
Visa rules and regulations can sometimes be confusing, especially when you’re trying to visit another country. If you’re planning to Business Visa to Australia Australia, there are two different kinds of visas you may need, depending on your circumstances. Here’s how to figure out which visa is right for your trip to Australia and how to get one quickly and easily.
Australian Visitor Visa Options
Depending on your particular situation, you have several visitor visa options to choose from. For example, if you’re planning a vacation or other short-term visit, a tourist visa is probably your best bet. It’s also good for business travelers and those in transit (say you have a layover in Sydney on your way to somewhere else). However, if you’re planning to study or work during your time in Australia, then another option—student or working holiday visas—might be better. In general, all of these different visitor visa options can be issued as either single-entry visas (good for just one trip) or multiple-entry visas (good for several trips), depending on what will work best for your situation.
Australian Business Visitor (Subclass 651)
This visa is a perfect choice if you want to visit Australia for business. For example, as a consultant or representative of your company. Australian Business Visitor (Subclass 651) is not a short-term visa and can be extended in 12-month increments up to five times in total. If you are planning to study part-time, there are other visa options that may be better suited for you; see below for details about Student Visitor (Subclass 570) and Working Holiday Maker (Subclass 417). But remember that an Australian Business Visitor visa (Subclass 651) allows you stay in Australia for several months, so even though it’s not ideal for every situation, it can still work well as a longer-term solution.
Australian Working Holiday Maker (Subclass 417)
This type of visa lets you do any kind of work in any industry for up to one year. Your age doesn’t matter, but you must be between 18 and 30 years old (inclusive).

You need to have met your partner in person before you can apply, and have a mutual commitment to each other. The relationship must also be ongoing, in good faith and genuine (which means both parties intend it to continue). Once granted, you may enter or remain in Australia until your relationship with your sponsor ends. If you are able to provide evidence of an ongoing relationship when applying for a Partner Temporary visa, you will not need to meet your sponsor in person. This allows you some flexibility if, for example, there’s a long distance between where you live now and where they live now.
Australian Sponsored Family Stream (Family Temporary) Subclass 489

You may be eligible for one of these visas if you plan on traveling temporarily to visit family members who are either permanent residents or citizens of Australia. This post outlines everything you need to know about Visitor Visa (Subclass 489) and will help take some of the confusion out of figuring out how best to visit down under.
