How to apply
Complete the application form. Please note that false or
misleading information may lead to refusal or cancellation of
your visa, or penalties while in Australia. The completed
application form can be lodged at your nearest Australian
overseas mission.
You may arrange for another person to help you complete
the application form, but you must sign it. If you have been
assisted in completing the application form, you should only
sign the declaration(s) if the information in it is true and
correct.
Lodge your application form, the application charge, your
passport and any attachments at the nearest Australian
overseas mission. Your application may be lodged personally,
by your representative or sent by mail.
Please follow any directions given by the visa processing
officer as to medical or x-ray examinations that may be
required.
On the return of your passport, carefully check the details
and conditions on your visa label or on the letter advising
you of the grant of your visa. If you have any concerns or
questions about the requirements or limitations, you should
contact the office that granted the visa before travelling to
Australia. You should not assume that any changes to your
immigration status can be made after your arrival in Australia.
Residential address
You must provide the address where you intend to live while
your application is being dealt with. Failure to give your
residential address in this application will result in your
application being invalid. A Post Office box address will not be
accepted as your residential address.
Health insurance
It is recommended that you take out health insurance for you
and your family for the period of stay in Australia. You will not
be covered by Australias national health scheme, unless you
are covered by a reciprocal health care agreement.
Vaccinations
If it is your intention to enrol your child in an Australian school
or childcare centre (creche or preschool) during your visit to
Australia, you are strongly encouraged to carry certification of
your childs vaccination status.
Vaccination is recommended against polio, tetanus, measles,
mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough),
Haemophilus influenzae hypo (Hib), and Hepatitis B.
Certification may be sought at time of enrolment.
Note: Vaccination against rubella is also recommended for
women of child bearing age.

Part M Declaration
46 Having read the Conditions for a tourist visa to Australia on page 1 of
this form:
I understand that the visa I am applying for does not permit me
to work or undertake business activities in Australia.
I understand that the visa I am applying for does not permit me
to study for longer than 3 months in Australia.
My intention to visit Australia is genuine and I will abide by the
conditions and period of stay of the visa.
I have adequate funds to meet all costs associated with the visit
to and from Australia for all those included in this application.
I have truthfully declared all relevant details requested of me in
this application.
I understand that the effect of the 8503 visa condition is that it
will not be possible for me to apply to remain in Australia
beyond the authorised period of stay of my visa. I agree to
having this condition included on any visa issued to me as a
result of this application.
I acknowledge that I understand that if the 8503 visa condition
is imposed on my visa, it will be indicated on the visa label, or in
documents given to me by DIMIA about the grant of my visa, by
the condition code 8503 and by the short description No
Further Stay.
I acknowledge that this means that the 8503 condition has been
imposed on my visa, that I am required to depart Australia
before the end of the period of stay authorised by my visa and
that I understand the restriction that condition 8503 places
on me.
In any part of this form which has been completed with the
assistance of another person, I declare that the information as
set down is true and correct and has been included with my full
knowledge, consent and understanding.
If granted a visa, I will advise the overseas mission should my
circumstances change prior to my travel to Australia.
