About the Multiple Entry Visa to Australia
A multiple-entry visa holder can enter and exit the country several times within a particular time frame. This program benefits any traveller who has to visit Australia or travel from Australia multiple times for business, family visits, tourism, etc. The maximum duration of stay during each period and the validity of the visa depends on the conditions outlined in the visa. The visa’s validity is maintained only when these conditions are consistently met.
