Visitor Visas

Successfully obtaining a visitor visa to come to Australia temporarily can be a lot tougher than most people would expect.

Given your country of passport and your personal circumstances, there may be a high risk that your application to visit Australia will be refused. A lot of visitor visa applications from countries deemed by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection to be “high risk” fail – not because of the applicant’s genuineness to visit Australian temporarily (rather than for some other purpose), but because insufficient information and documentation is provided with the application to prove that the applicant is a “Genuine Temporary Entrant”.

If you want to maximise your chances of being granted a visitor visa for tourist purposes, to visit family, or for business purposes, please contact us to arrange an initial consultation so we can explain the process moving forward to you.
