oidara Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We are planning a reccie next March, ideally for up to 6 months. The ETA (976) and evisitor (651) visas only seem to allow stays of up to 3 months at a time. I know you can leave Oz and come back in again, but we have 3 children so would rather not. Does anyone know if these visas can be extended easily? If not, I guess we have to apply for a 6-month tourist visa (676), right? Does anyone know if the 110AUD fee is the same for children/infants too? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think you would need to look at the 676 but I am not a migration agent so cannot legally advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 ETAs and eVisitor visas can't be extended. If you enter Australia on one of those and want to stay longer, you must apply for a 676 Tourist visa. If you already intend staying for longer than 3 months, it's makes sense to apply for a 676 in the first place. http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/tourist/676/ 676 Tourist visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oidara Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thanks. It looks like we have to apply for one visa per person at 110AUD a time, even for the 4 month old baby! It says "Family members, under 18 years of age, who are travelling to Australia and are included on your passport, can be included in your application. Other family members who have separate passports must lodge separate applications." But you can't include kids on British passports anymore, so that's why I'm figuring we need an application each. Anyone have a different take on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
