If the circumstances in question are not exceptional you may be asked to re-apply. In certain circumstances, such as for family visits and family emergencies, a single entry visa may be issued and may be valid for one person alone. Visa fee Australian visitors do not pay the same visa fee as their Australian citizens or permanent resident (PR) relatives. A maximum fee is payable depending on the category. If this fee has been paid for the previous year you'll have to pay the additional fee for the current year. Family visit visa holders (up to 6 people in a group in a 12-month period) and parents of young children (up to 4 children) do not have to pay the visa fee. Children under the age of 17 require children under 18 years for defendants. Family tourist visas are currently only available for Australians and citizens and permanent residents (PR) of other countries. As visa types and fee schedules change, it is advisable to check the latest visa fee schedule from the Australian Government's website. It is only in exceptional circumstances that family visas can be extended, so be sure you can leave the country in the case of your departure. This includes the requirement for you to be a New Zealand citizen or resident. Check a detailed list of visa types here.

This will confirm your information and the visa status. If you are eligible to apply for a tourist visa, it can usually take up to 14 weeks after the visa information package is received to reach the issuing embassy or consulate for you to lodge your application. Depending on the visa, it could take up to 30 days to be finalized. In most cases, a visa will only be issued to allow the visitor to enter Australia for tourism or other recreational purposes, or for family visits if it is possible for them to depart before your stay. However, in some exceptional cases, you may be asked to re-apply. If the circumstances in question are not exceptional, you will need to undertake a new application for the current year.
