Restriction on Travel

Australian citizens and their immediate family members can travel to Australia and they are exempted from the travel restriction. The immediate family members include:
  • spouses
  • dependents
  • legal guardians
You can only come to Australia if you have a visa. Once you get the visa and you are allowed to travel, then you need to self-isolate yourself in a home or a hotel. Well, you should not travel until the DHA permits to do so. If you are wondering about the process of applying for the visa and what all needs to be kept in mind then talk to our migration agent. Our Migration consultant will share all the necessary and relevant information with you.
