Visitor visa is an overarching term. However, it can be broadly divided into two:
For only visit that may include vacationing, recreational activities, visiting an Australian resident family member, medical treatment etc.
For business activities that may include making general business or government enquiries, business negotiations, government visits, attending conferences, seminars, job interviews or professional examinations.
Apart from these there are some other special categories for visitor visas too.
If you wish to visit Australia for any of these reasons or something else, BMW is there for you.
These visas each have unique requirements and qualifying standards. According to your needs, BMW streamlines the processing of all of these visas.
Since "visitor visa" is such a broad phrase, it takes a great deal of knowledge of the immigration system and legislation to match the precise type of visitor visa to your needs.
