## Notes
90 days on each visit in 12-month period if granted. Starting from 21 August 2020, Hong Kong passport holders are eligible for applying 5 years student and temporary skilled visas after the enforcement of the national security law. After meeting the requirement of the 5 years stay, eligible visa holders can apply for permanent residence in the same manner like other nationalities.

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

An ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651) cannot be extended or renewed while you are in Australia, whatever the reason.

**Cost detail.** AUD $250 is the charge for the subclass 600 you would need instead.

**How.** To stay longer you must either apply for a subclass 600 Tourist stream from inside Australia, or leave and re-enter on a fresh ETA or eVisitor.

**If you cannot extend.** An ETA or eVisitor never carries condition 8503, so a subclass 600 application from inside Australia is open to you — unlike holders of some sponsored visitor visas.
