Is this a fact or generalised assumption/belief?They bring them on tourist visa then attempt to extend the visa. If extension failed they appeal or overstay then pay the penalty and leave.
Key Tourist Visa Requirements
- Genuine Temporary Intent: Applicants must prove they only intend to visit Australia temporarily for leisure or to see family. They cannot use a tourist visa to seek or engage in paid work.
- Financial Self-Sufficiency: Proof of sufficient funds (such as bank statements or sponsor details) must be submitted to show the applicant can cover their stay and return flight.
- Home Ties: Strong evidence of ties to their home country (e.g., a current job contract, property ownership, or family commitments) must be provided to show they will return.
