"Visa in Australia"

Visa in Australia? If you are already there it means you have one, so what is this about? Don't you have to apply for a travel permit overseas?

Okay, you are there but you may want to stay longer or do something else, something that your current visa for Australia does not allow.

Each entry permit works differently so make sure you visit the department of immigration Australia website to understand the conditions on which you can travel.

Again, why would you want to apply when you are already there?

There are various reasons why people apply for a visa in Australia. For example:

• you came down under on a temporary permit and would like to make your move permanent;
• or you came to holiday and do some work to help pay for your leisure time, and want to spend another year down under;
• or came to study and now would like to work, or set up a business;
• or you were sponsored by an employer to fill in some specialised positions in their business for a while and now are wondering whether you can stay longer;

And the list can go on an on...

Some of the travel permits cannot be extended, such as the short term holiday, or the electronic tourist ones. But if you are travelling on them you may be able to apply for a different one while you are still on your first visit and haven’t left the country.

Browse this site to get some hints and then visit the department of immigration website to understand which is the right Australian travel visa for you, based on your situation.
