Visas for Australia: the 651 visa
If you are Spanish and want to travel to Australia to carry out business activities, then you have to process the 651 visa , or “visitor visa” in the “eVisitor” modality.
Only citizens of certain countries such as Spain can travel to Australia with a 651 visa. If due to your nationality you cannot process a 651 visa then your option will be a 600 visa (click this link to get more information) for business which is also the visa that you would have to process if you want to go sightseeing in Australia or to visit family or friends. If this was your intention, remember that we can also help you. You can call us at 91 847 87 30 , or send us an email to contacto@visadosempresas.com

What you should knowr
The 651 visa is the visa that we must apply for if we go to Australia to participate in meetings with suppliers or clients, attend conferences or fairs, negotiate contracts or even attend a job interview. It is also the visa that we have to process if we are going to carry out studies whose duration is less than three months.
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 651 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.
