Frequently asked questions

Why are visitor visas refused?

Most refusals cite insufficient evidence of genuine temporary stay — weak home ties, inconsistent finances, or unclear purpose. A well-prepared application addresses these upfront.

How long can I stay on a 600 visa?

Stays of 3, 6 or 12 months may be granted depending on the stream and your circumstances. We request the period that matches your itinerary.
