Second Visitor Visa Granted Inside Australia to Allow Extended Stay with Daughter and Grandson

Visa TypeVisitor (Subclass 600)

CategoryVisitor Visa

Case Summary

An applicant visiting her daughter and grandson in Australia sought assistance to lodge a second Visitor visa inside Australia before her initial three-month visa expired. We successfully established her genuine temporary entrant credentials and financial support arrangements, and she was granted a seven-month multiple-entry visa.

Background

The applicant was in Australia on a Visitor visa (Subclass 600) that permitted a stay of three months from entry. The visa was approaching expiry and she wished to extend her stay to continue visiting her daughter and grandson. She engaged us to assist with the lodgement of a second Visitor visa application inside Australia.

Challenges

Second Visitor visa applications require clear demonstration of genuine temporary intention — a second grant can attract greater scrutiny
Applicant needed to show sufficient home country ties and reasons to return, as well as adequate financial means for the extended stay

How We Helped

We submitted evidence of the applicant's ongoing employment commitments and familial ties in her home country as proof of genuine temporary intention. Her daughter in Australia provided a supporting statement detailing the visit's purpose. We also argued that it was plainly in the applicant's own interest to comply with the visa conditions, as non-compliance would harm her prospects of future visits to Australia. Bank account statements from both the applicant and her daughter were provided to demonstrate financial sufficiency.
