我们预计08年5月份首次登陆悉尼，因不希望尚不满周岁的宝宝同我们一起经历艰难的过渡期，因此希望我母亲可以同行，待宝宝的签证激活后即带她回国。<br />
<br />
在澳洲移民局官方网站查询后，我们决定帮母亲办理676类赴澳旅游签证，且已经成功获签。在此将我对这类签证的理解及办理的一些相关信息记录下来，希望对大家有些帮助。<br />
<br />
<strong>旅游签证类别</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>676类旅游签证</strong>This visa is for people who want to visit Australia for a holiday or recreation, visit family and/or friends, or study for up to three months. This visa may also be used for other short-term non-work purposes including study for less than three months.<br />
<strong>696类被担保家庭成员访客签证</strong>This visa allows people to travel to Australia to take a holiday or visit their family. <br />
<br />
The applicant must have an eligible relative in Australia or an Australian Government official willing to sponsor them.<br />
<br />
The sponsor provides a guarantee that their visitor will leave Australia before the visa expires. Support from the sponsor is taken into account by the visa decision-maker<br />
<br />
