About visainfo.cc
A free, independent resource that helps travellers understand Australian visa stay rules, built around condition 8558 and the Visitor visa (subclass 600).
What is visainfo.cc?
visainfo.cc is a free, independent informational website designed to help travellers understand Australian visa stay rules. Our flagship tool, the Visa Stay Calculator, helps visitors estimate how many days they have remaining under rolling-window conditions such as visa condition 8558, one of the most commonly applied limitations on the Visitor visa (subclass 600).
We built this site because many travellers find it difficult to interpret conditions like “12 months in any 18 months” without help. Enter your travel dates and you get an instant breakdown of days spent, days remaining and key compliance dates, all processed locally in your browser.

visainfo.cc serves a wide range of visitors planning travel to, or already staying in, Australia. Whether you are a tourist visiting family, a retiree spending extended periods in Australia, or a frequent business traveller managing multiple entries, our tools and guides give you clarity about your permitted stay.
Our blog covers visa application guides for specific countries, cultural insights about migrant communities in Australia, and practical advice on everything from arriving at Australian airports to understanding bridging visas. We also explain other common conditions in plain English: condition 8105 (student work hours), condition 8501 (health insurance), condition 8503 (no further stay) and condition 8516 (maintain enrolment).
How our tools work
The condition 8558 calculator uses date arithmetic to compute your estimated stay within a rolling window. You enter the arrival and departure dates for each trip, choose the rule on your grant (for example “12 months in 18 months”), and the calculator works out how many days you have used, how many remain, and whether any 18-month window is over the limit. All calculations run in your browser. No data is sent to our servers.
Our condition 8558 guide explains rolling-window stay limits with worked examples, and the FAQ answers the most common questions, from partial-day counting to what happens if you overstay your visa.

Australian immigration law is complex and changes frequently. Individual grants may include unique conditions that differ from the general descriptions we publish. Calculator results are estimates based on the dates you provide and are not verified against your visa record. Always confirm your conditions through VEVO or the Department of Home Affairs. If your situation involves bridging visas, ministerial intervention, cancellations or health waivers, consult a registered migration agent. See our disclaimer for more.
