You are drafting an onshore subclass 600 (Visitor) application for [CLIENT_NAME] under Migration Regulations 1994 Schedule 2 cl.600. Australia does NOT renew or extend subclass 600 — a NEW substantive application must be lodged before [CURRENT_VISA_EXPIRY] expires.
CLIENT SNAPSHOT
• Current visa: [CURRENT_VISA_TYPE]
• Current expiry: [CURRENT_VISA_EXPIRY]
• Requested new expiry: [INTENDED_NEW_EXPIRY]
• Purpose: [PURPOSE_OF_STAY]
• Proof of funds: AUD [PROOF_OF_FUNDS_AUD]
• Support: Self-funded
• Condition 8503 on current visa: No
• Ties to home: [TIES_TO_HOME]
§1 — THRESHOLD CHECK: NO-FURTHER-STAY (8503)
If No indicates "Yes", STOP. Subclass 600 visas with 8503 attached prohibit lodgement of a further onshore visa application (Migration Act s.41(2)(a) + Schedule 8 condition 8503). Two options:
(a) Apply for 8503 WAIVER under Direction 21 — only granted in:
• Compelling and compassionate circumstances beyond client's control
• Examples: serious illness preventing return; death of close family member; family violence; major natural disaster
• Lodge via Form 1447 (Request to waive a "No Further Stay" condition)
• Separate from the subclass 600 lodgement; must succeed FIRST
(b) Depart Australia before [CURRENT_VISA_EXPIRY], re-apply offshore
If No is "No", proceed to §2.
§2 — TIMING + BRIDGING VISA A (BVA)
State explicitly:
(a) Lodge BEFORE [CURRENT_VISA_EXPIRY] — even one day late means client becomes an unlawful non-citizen (s.13 Migration Act)
(b) On valid lodgement BEFORE expiry, Department auto-grants Bridging Visa A (BVA — subclass 010) under reg 2.20
(c) BVA permits lawful presence in Australia under SAME conditions as substantive visa (no work for Tourist 600 — Schedule 8 cl.8101)
(d) BVA ceases 28 days after a substantive decision (grant or refusal)
(e) Current subclass 600 onshore processing: 30-90 days (varies; verify ImmiAccount estimates)
§3 — FORM PACK + IMMIACCOUNT LODGEMENT
Documents:
A. Online application via client's ImmiAccount (recommended) OR Form 1419 paper application
B. Photocopy of:
• Passport biographical page + photo page
• Current visa grant notification (VEVO printout)
• Australian arrival stamp / iEntry record
• Any previous Home Affairs documents
C. Proof of funds — bank statements (last 3-6 months), preferably showing AUD-equivalent of [PROOF_OF_FUNDS_AUD]
• If sponsored: sponsor's pay slips, tax returns (Notice of Assessment), bank statements
• Sponsor's Form 1149 statutory declaration of support (if Sponsored Family stream)
D. Cover letter explaining purpose (see §4)
E. Itinerary / activities planned (if tourism)
F. Medical / family documentation (if extension is for caregiving or medical reason)
G. VAC payment — AUD ~$200 (Tourist stream); higher for Sponsored Family stream
H. Form 956 (Appointment of Authorised Recipient / Migration Agent) if filed by MARA agent
§4 — TIES NARRATIVE FOR [CLIENT_NAME]
Draft a 200-250 word "ties to home" statement using [TIES_TO_HOME] as the spine. Cover:
(a) Specific family members remaining in home country (names, relationships, dependency)
(b) Property / business / professional ties
(c) Concrete return-trigger events (wedding, harvest, business reopening, school year start)
(d) Prior travel history showing departures-on-time from Australia (if applicable)
Officers under cl.600.211 (Genuine Visitor) and PAM3 scrutinise "intention to stay temporarily for the purpose stated". Use specific dated facts, not emotive language.
§5 — COVER LETTER (250-300 words)
Open: "Application under Migration Regulations 1994 cl.600 for grant of a further Visitor visa onshore for [CLIENT_NAME], to permit stay from [CURRENT_VISA_EXPIRY] until [INTENDED_NEW_EXPIRY]."
Structure:
¶1 — Identity, current visa, requested period
¶2 — Purpose ([PURPOSE_OF_STAY] expanded with specific reasons + duration justification)
¶3 — Financial capacity (citing AUD [PROOF_OF_FUNDS_AUD]; bank statements enclosed; if Self-funded indicates a sponsor, reference their Form 1149)
¶4 — Genuine temporary entrant (citing [TIES_TO_HOME])
¶5 — Closing: undertaking to abide by Schedule 8 conditions (8101 no work; 8201 no study > 3 months), depart by [INTENDED_NEW_EXPIRY]
§6 — RED FLAGS TO PRE-EMPT
Address in cover letter if any apply:
• Previous visitor extensions/onshore applications — explain consistent narrative
• Long cumulative stay (>12 months in 24 months) — justify; officers scrutinise under cl.600.212
• Prior visa refusals in Australia or elsewhere — disclose under PIC 4020
• Family member on bridging visa / pending PR — flag relationship clearly; do not hide
§7 — OUTCOME SCENARIOS
• Granted: new subclass 600 issued with [INTENDED_NEW_EXPIRY] or shorter at officer discretion; BVA ceases 28 days after grant notification
• Granted with 8503 attached: client cannot apply further onshore; must depart by new expiry
• Refused: BVA ceases 28 days after refusal notification; merits review at AAT available within 21 days (s.347 review)
End with: "DRAFT subclass 600 onshore application — for MARA-registered migration agent review. Verify against current Home Affairs guidance, Schedule 8 condition wording, and current VAC fees before client submission. If 8503 applies, lodge waiver request via Form 1447 first."Unlock the vault to see the full prompt
