Business Visa (Life of Passport) Obligations
The life of passport business visa has specific conditions you must adhere to. Failure to do so may result in your visa being cancelled and you being asked to leave the country.
To apply for a life of passport business visa, you must agree to:
- Not engage in work in Australia that might otherwise be carried out by an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident.*
- Not engage in any studies or training for more than 3 months.
- Meet health and character requirements.
* Work is generally not allowed. However, you may be able to engage in limited work if for example it is highly specialised and non ongoing (generally less than 6 weeks).
Having any criminal convictions may affect your eligibility to apply for this type of visa. We advise you contact our staff before applying to discuss your visa options.
Please note that an ETA is not designed to allow repeated extended stays in Australia. If you wish to spend long periods of time in Australia for business purposes, you may wish to consider applying for an alternate visa such as the business 457 visa.
The cost of a life of passport business visa is $192.00 USD.
