This visa stream lets you visit Australia for up to 12 months as a tourist, to go on a cruise or to see family and friends.
You can stay for the period or dates specified on the visa grant letter. We determine the length of your visa on a case by case basis. Things we might consider when determining your stay period include:
how long you want to stay
why you want to stay in Australia
If you have multiple entry, you can travel outside Australia and return while your visa is valid.
If you have single entry and you leave Australia, you have to apply for another visa to return.
