Visitor visa is an overarching term. However, it can be broadly divided into two:

• For only visit that may include vacationing, recreational activities, visiting an Australian resident family member, medical treatment etc.
  
  
• For business activities that may include making general business or government enquiries, business negotiations, government visits, attending conferences, seminars, job interviews or professional examinations.
  
  
• Apart from these there are some other special categories for visitor visas too.
