Australian Long Stay Visa

If you are planning on travelling to Australia for more than 3 months you will need to apply for the subclass 676 visa. The main reason for your visit should be for recreation or to visit family and/or friends. It can also be used for other short-term, non work purposes, including study for less than 3 months.

The subclass 676 visa will allow you a stay in Australia for either six or twelve months. The visa will be valid on your passport for twelve months, allowing you the twelve months from the date of issue to enter into the country to start the duration of your visa.

The subclass 676 visa was recommended to eligible countries in January 2006 to replace the form 48. Labels and stamps, which were required with the form 48 are a thing of the past. Passports are no longer required to be sent to the local High Commissions as the subclass 676 visa is assigned to your passport number electronically.

The subclass 676 visa will allow you to:
  • Stay in Australia for up to six or twelve months per visit.
  • Make multiple visits into Australia from the date of issue.
  • Study up to 3 months
You are eligible to apply for an Australian long stay holiday visa (form 48) if you hold a valid passport from any of the following countries: check
