600 Visitor Visa Grant: Onshore Extension Approved Without Medical Exam During Pandemic
Case Summary
Background:
The applicant was holding a subclass 600 visitor visa in Australia with the original visa due to expire on March 28, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, return flights were canceled, making departure as planned impossible. The main challenges were: 1. The stay was approaching three months, requiring an onshore visitor visa extension; 2. The need to avoid triggering medical examination requirements to expedite processing; 3. Providing sufficient evidence to demonstrate the force majeure circumstances caused by the pandemic.

Force Majeure Evidence Preparation: Assisted the client in preparing flight cancellation proofs, pandemic travel restriction documents, and other evidence充分证明 the uncontrollable nature of itinerary changes
Extension Necessity Justification: Detailed explanation of the special circumstances caused by the pandemic, emphasizing the necessity and reasonableness of the onshore extension
Medical Requirement Avoidance: Through precise stay duration planning and application timing, avoided triggering medical examination requirements ensuring fast processing
Complete Application Documentation: Ensured all supporting documents were comprehensive, including financial proofs and accommodation arrangements, demonstrating the applicant’s ability to support extended stay expenses
Successful Outcome:
After we lodged the subclass 600 visitor visa onshore extension application, the Department approved the application within 5 business days. The applicant’s subclass 600 visitor visa extension was successfully granted on February 20, 2020. The entire process required no medical examination and no further information requests.
