I applied for Sponsored visitor visa for my brother after the visitor visa got rejected. My friend applied for sponsored visitor visa for his parents after the visitor visa got rejected.

The approval rate is high because Sponsor takes the ownership that the applicant will abide my visa rules and also gives undertaking to Govt that willing to provide a bond for it 

Just download form 1149 and read through it for clarification

Amjad, thanks alot for the guidance.

For how many months you applied for your brother's family sponsored visitor visa? and for how many months he got it?

Also, for instance if he got a 3 months visa, then was the duration for 90 days and validity for 1 year i.e. can enter for 90 days periods within a year?

OR was the duration of visa for fixed 3 months with fixed dates (for example: 10 june to 10 sep)?

Did he got the No futher Stay condition as well? Thank you.

Suggest you apply Sponsored Visitors visa, sponsored visitors visa have an approval rate of 80 percent and chances of success are very high as sponsor provides confirmation the applicant will abide by the visa rules. The process is same , infact its the same application if you apply through immi account only have to select Sponsored visa type and provide additional documents.

Thank you so much. What are the additional documents to be provided?

Any checklist of documents for Sponsored Stream for applying from Pakistan? on vfs website, there is checklist for Tourist visa only.

M.Muhammad and mnab,

thanks for sharing the info, helps alot. Its sad that they are denying visa like this.

Other members,

Anyone who has been successful in getting visitor visa after 309 kindly comment? Would be grateful.

Hi M.muhammad,

Thanks for the reply. I would be grateful if you can guide on queries below which will help alot.

1. Did you apply through agent for the tourist visa?
2. Is your wife employed somewhere?
3. What were the documents you submitted for the tourist visa?
4. For how many days/months you requested the visa for?
5. In how many days you got the response?

Many thanks

Hi everyone,

I am currently offshore in Pakistan while waiting for Partner Visa 309. Meanwhile, I am planning to apply for a visitor’s visa for Australia. However, we are in the dilemma of choosing the Visitor Visa ( Tourist Stream ) or Family Sponsored Visitor Visa.

Could I get some advice on the following questions:

1: Does Family-Sponsored Visitor Visa have a greater duration of stay than the Visitor Visa (Tourist Stream) ?

2: Which one has a higher chance of being granted? Family-Sponsored Visitor Visa OR  Tourist Stream

Thanks for your help.
