What you should know

The 600 visa in its business modality is the visa that we must process if we travel to Australia to participate in meetings with suppliers or clients, attend conferences or fairs, negotiate contracts or even attend a job interview.

With this visa you cannot carry out any type of work-related activity, even if we are going to carry it out hired in our country of origin. In this case we will have to manage a type 400 visa.

This visa can only be applied for while outside Australia,  so we have to process it before traveling.

It is an electronic visa that does not need to be stamped in the passport.

Visa duration.

By duration of the visa we have to understand the period during which the visa is valid and therefore we can use it to travel.

In the case of the 600 business visa, from the moment of its issuance, the visa has an initial validity of six months.

This means that we have six months to travel to Australia from the moment the visa was granted to us.

Processing time

By processing time we have to understand the time it takes for the Australian government to process a 600 visa .

The average processing time varies depending on the time of year but you can calculate that it will be around 22 calendar days from the moment the request is made.

However, we must take into account that the preparation of the documentation that is necessary to provide with each file is complex and its preparation may require many days, so it is advisable to start processing the 600 visa between 3 and 4 months before the need.
