Taking a child to Australia on a Visitor visa
When deciding whether an applicant intends a genuine visit to Australia, decision makers take into account the applicant’s personal circumstances, incentive to return home, financial situation and ability to support themselves while in Australia.
The likelihood of an applicant seeking to remain in Australia is also assessed. Visitor visas might be subject to extra conditions, including a no further stay condition, to prevent the visa holder from applying for another visa to remain in Australia.
