Notes
No dedicated digital nomad visa. Remote workers use Visitor Visa (subclass 600), up to 12 months. Remote work for foreign employers is tolerated but not explicitly authorized. Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417) is alternative for ages 18-30 (AUD 635, 12 months, permits local work). Australia may launch a dedicated DN visa in the future. Need AUD 5,000+ in bank plus flight out.
