The Department of Home Affairs of Australia recently announced a significant change in visa policies, extending the validity period for Business Visitor (subclass 600) visas. This change applies to nationals from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries (excluding Myanmar) and Timor-Leste.
These changes are part of Australia’s broader Migration Strategy. They aim to increase international mobility, foster regional relationships, and strengthen community connections between ASEAN countries and Australia. By offering longer visa validity and expanding the frequent traveler stream, Australia aims to facilitate easier business interactions and reinforce its economic and diplomatic ties within the region.
The recent visa policy changes mark a significant step towards enhancing Australia’s engagement with ASEAN nations and Timor-Leste. This move is expected to boost business activities, encourage more frequent visits, and solidify Australia’s position as a key player in regional cooperation and development.
