Visitor Visas Explained - Differences between Subclass 600 and 601

[@joxxua1]

I have a 601 visa when i came to Australia. Then i extended for 3 months with 600 visa which is about to expire. So i am flying out and planning to come back. My 601 visa is still not expired. Can i still use it or it was not valid since when i had my 600?

[@ChannelAMEC]

Why do you need to come back and stay for such a long time?

[@agnesjia5332]

The angry part for ETA processing, is no where to track status, no where to feedback, no one to ask... wil be tough for those who gt emergency.. hope they review their process.. in order to avoid ppl abuse their visa, shuld restrict the rule who abuse the visa illegally, nt delay those who try to apply just for family visiting and travel.

[@ChannelAMEC]

Exactly

[@ohuat]

Thank you for the info.

If a US citizen is visiting their long term partner for a month or more, but definitely less than 3 months, can they work remotely for their US company for their regular full time capacity while on ETA or does one need a different visa?

[@ChannelAMEC]

Yes

Hi, I'm a Malaysian passport holder. I just realized I might be eligible for the ETA (subclass 601) after my subclass 600 was approved. How do I get a refund on subclass 600 and reapply ETA subclass 601? (The cost for subclass 600 is way too expensive and I'm afraid I'm paying extra for no reason) What reason should I write when requesting for the refund?

[@ChannelAMEC]

There is no refund

Hello, if I have ETA for 3 months in australia and while I'm in australia, can I extend it for 3 more months? Do I have to apply for subclass 600 to extend ETA or do I have to reapply ETA again while in australia for 3 months extension? Thanks.

[@ChannelAMEC]

While in Australia, you can only extend 600. cannot do ETA no more.

[@SS-rh6ke]

@@ChannelAMEC thanks. Can you apply for 600 if you are not in the country of your citizenship? I'm in US and will be traveling to Thailand for 3 months. Will it be possible for me to apply for visa 600 there online?

[@samanthaloj.s660]

Thanks. Does the visitor visa ETA subclass 601 consist of a clause that says ‘no further stay’ ? I have a lot of mixed comments and answers around stating that a person holding visitor visa while in Australia are not eligible to apply for spouse visa(subclass 820) unless the clause ‘no further stay’ is not stated. I wasn’t really sure if visitor visa ETA subclass 601 would allow anyone to apply for spouse visa (subclass 820) while in Australia as they are meant to be visitor , short term stay only

My spouse is a US citizen, she is coming to Australia in 2 months, if she applys for ETA, can we then apply for 600 Visa (onshore) before the 3 months period of ETA? Meaning she can stay longer with me, or should we directly apply for 600 vistor visa (off shore)? Looking forward to your kind response.

Yes can
