Frequently Asked Questions

The Visa Stay Calculator is a planning tool that estimates your permitted stay duration based on the dates you enter. It helps you understand common stay limits (including visa condition 8558) but does not replace official advice.

It provides estimates for planning. Visa conditions can vary and may change. Always confirm your exact conditions in your grant notice or via VEVO and official Department of Home Affairs information.

It generally refers to a rolling limit where the total time spent in Australia must not exceed 12 months within any 18-month period. Whether this applies depends on your visa wording—confirm via VEVO.

We aim to minimise data collection. The calculator processes your dates to show results. Please review our Privacy Policy for current details.

Check that your dates are valid and chronological. If it still fails, contact us via the Contact page with a short description of the issue.

No. This is informational only and not legal advice. Always verify your visa status and conditions with official sources or a registered migration agent.

Use your visa grant notice and VEVO to check your visa details and conditions.
