Hello All,

My in-laws are currently in Australia. They were granted 600 visa in 2016 December for a year. They came here with us when we migrated, stayed for less than 3 months and left Australia on time. They again visited us in December 2017 (Entered before the last entry date) and will be leaving a week before their 3 month stay time. Now they would like to apply for tourist visa again. Do they have to wait for a while after leaving Australia to apply for tourist visa again or is the timeline completely irrelevant? They might not immediately visit Australia but might visit us again in about 3 months or so. Their last granted visa expired in December 2017. They would like to apply as soon as they leave Australia.

Thanks.

They can apply again. Whether it will be granted or not will depend on circumstances. What passports do your in-laws hold?

They have Indian passports.

In that case I would wait until they actually want to come. Applying directly after leaving raises somewhat of a red flag.

Okay thanks. I will wait till they decide to come and apply again. Since they came here with us in 2017 when we migrated, they got only 1 year of tourist visa unfortunately. My parents for whom I applied later got 3 years.
