## Notes
Belarusian citizens are not eligible for the ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651) and must apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) online via ImmiAccount before travel.

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **yes**
- Must leave the country: **no**
- Cost: AUD $250

A new grant of 3, 6 or occasionally 12 months. Condition 8558 caps total time at 12 months in any 18-month period.

**Cost detail.** Base application charge, raised to AUD $250 on 1 July 2026. Non-refundable even if refused.

**How.** Australia has no extension process. Lodge a new subclass 600 Tourist stream in ImmiAccount before your current visa expires; a Bridging Visa A then keeps you lawful while it is decided.

**If you cannot extend.** Check your grant notice or VEVO for condition 8503 (No Further Stay) first. If it is present you cannot lodge onshore at all — a waiver needs compelling or compassionate circumstances that arose after the visa was granted.
