    What Type of Travel Visa Do I Need?

    The correct visa depends on what you intend to do while overseas.

    Tourist Visas

    For holidays, sightseeing, visiting friends or other leisure travel.

    Business Visas

    For meetings, conferences, negotiations, site visits, exhibitions and other permitted commercial activities that do not constitute local employment.

    Visit Visas

    For travellers visiting family members, friends or other personal contacts overseas.

    For travellers attending industry events, exhibitions, conferences, seminars and organised business functions.

    Short-Term Assignment Visas

    Some destinations have specific visa categories for technicians, specialists, consultants or employees undertaking short-term project work.

    Electronic Visas and Travel Authorisations

    Many countries now operate online visa or electronic travel authorisation systems. Eligibility varies by nationality, purpose of travel and length of stay.

    CLS reviews the proposed travel before recommending the appropriate application pathway.

    What You Need

    Travel Visa Requirements

    Visa requirements vary significantly between countries and can also depend on your nationality, Australian residency status, reason for travelling and proposed length of stay. Common requirements may include:

    Valid passport

    Passport photograph

    Completed visa application form

    Travel itinerary

    Flight reservation

    Accommodation details

    Evidence of sufficient funds

    Travel insurance

    Employer letter

    Business invitation

    Host invitation

    Evidence of Australian residency

    Previous travel information

    Bank statements or financial evidence

    Supporting identification documents

    Visa appointment or biometric attendance

    Additional documents requested by the embassy or immigration authority

    Not every destination requires all of these documents. CLS confirms the requirements applicable to your individual application before lodgement.

    How It Works

    How the Travel Visa Process Works

    1

    Tell Us Where You Are Travelling

    Provide your destination, nationality, reason for travel and proposed travel dates.

    We assess the visa requirements and identify the appropriate application pathway, then provide clear instructions outlining the documents and information required for your application, reviewing any supporting documents before submission.

    2

    Application Preparation

    Our team prepares or reviews the visa application and supporting documentation to identify inconsistencies, missing information or potential issues before lodgement.

    3

    Visa Lodgement and Follow-Up

    Depending on the destination, CLS may coordinate online visa applications, embassy or consulate applications, visa application centre submissions, passport lodgement, appointment bookings, biometric requirements and supporting document submissions.

    Where personal attendance is required for biometrics, interviews or identity verification, CLS prepares the application and coordinates the process around that appointment. We monitor the application where possible and respond to requests for additional information or documentation.

    4

    Visa Issuance

    Once the visa has been issued, we check the available visa details and advise you of the outcome.

    Where CLS is holding your passport, we coordinate secure collection or return delivery.

    Popular Visa Destinations

    China Visas

    CLS assists travellers visiting China for tourism, business, conferences, family visits and other eligible travel purposes.

    Depending on the application type and current requirements, applicants may need supporting invitations, travel documentation, appointments or biometric attendance.

    Vietnam Visas

    Travellers to Vietnam may have access to electronic visa arrangements depending on their nationality and proposed travel.

    CLS can assess eligibility, review application documentation and assist with the appropriate visa process.

    Brazil Visas

    CLS assists travellers in determining whether advance authorisation is required and preparing applications where applicable.

    Nigeria Visas

    Travellers to Nigeria may require a visa appropriate to tourism, business, family visits or another permitted activity.

    Applications can involve supporting documentation, invitations and additional immigration requirements.

    CLS assists with preparation and processing coordination from Australia.

    Business Travel Visa Support

    International business travel often involves more than simply completing a visa form.

    Invitation letters, employer documentation, host company details, travel dates and the proposed activities overseas may all need to correspond with the visa category being requested.

    CLS supports:

    Business meetings
    Conferences and exhibitions
    Client visits
    Project meetings
    Site visits
    Corporate delegations
    Executive travel
    Short-term assignments
    Multi-country business travel

    For organisations managing frequent international travel, CLS can act as a central visa processing partner for employees travelling across multiple destinations.

    Visa Support for Foreign Passport Holders in Australia

    You do not necessarily need to hold an Australian passport to use CLS visa services.

    Many foreign nationals who legally reside in Australia can submit visa applications through embassies, consulates or visa processing centres located in Australia.

    However, eligibility can depend on:

    Nationality
    Australian visa or residency status
    Destination
    Visa category
    Embassy jurisdiction
    Length of Australian residency

    CLS can assess the application before commencement and advise whether it can be processed from Australia.

    We determine the applicable visa category and requirements before the application begins.

    Supporting Document Review

    For visa processes requiring the original passport, CLS provides secure passport handling, tracking and return arrangements.

    Corporate Travel Support

    Corporate clients can refer travellers directly to CLS while maintaining central visibility over applications.

    What Slows Applications Down

    Common Causes of Travel Visa Delays – and How CLS Helps Avoid Them

    Every common cause of delay — and how CLS prevents it before submission.

    Applying for the wrong visa category

    A tourist visa may not permit business activities, while a standard business visa may not permit certain forms of project work.

    Incomplete supporting documents

    Missing invitation letters, employer letters, travel arrangements or financial evidence can delay an application.

    Inconsistent information

    Differences between an application form, passport, invitation, employer letter and itinerary can result in additional questions or processing delays.

    Passport validity

    Some destinations impose minimum passport validity or blank-page requirements.

    Applying too late

    Visa processing times vary considerably and can increase during peak periods, public holidays or periods of high demand.

    Missing an appointment or biometric requirement

    Some destinations require applicants to attend personally.

    Corporate Visa Management

    For organisations with employees regularly travelling internationally, managing visas internally can quickly become an administrative burden.

    CLS provides centralised travel visa support for:

    HR teams
    Mobility teams
    Executive assistants
    Travel managers
    Project coordinators
    Government departments
    Engineering and construction companies
    Professional services firms
    International organisations

    Corporate clients can send travellers directly to CLS while their nominated travel coordinator remains informed throughout the process.

    For businesses sending teams to multiple destinations, CLS provides a single point of contact rather than requiring your employees to navigate different embassies, immigration websites and visa providers themselves.

    4.8★ from 277+ Google reviews

    I recently required document legalisation from an embassy in Canberra, which was complicated to arrange from Perth. The CLS Legalisation Team were responsive and helpful, and assisted me in getting the process completed in a timely manner. I have previously used CLS for assistance in obtaining business visas to less-frequented countries and they have always provided a professional, efficient service.
