If you’re heading to Australia for a vacation, to see friends and family, or even join a cruise, the Tourist Stream is for you. This visa allows a stay of up to 12 months and costs from AUD 200. You must apply from outside Australia and show proof of sufficient funds. Importantly, this visa does not permit work.
What makes this visa appealing is its flexibility—it’s suitable for everything from leisure travel to extended family visits. However, you’re expected to visit only, with no business or medical intentions. (Canva)
