Going to Fiji soon and my flight back to Singapore from Fiji is a dreadful 8-hour layover in Sydney.

I have friends in Sydney and wondering if I can take an exit from the airport and come back WITHOUT a visa. My nationality requires me to have a visa to visit Australia but quite unsure if I will be allowed this time since I am on transit.

    Note: transit generally means you're staying in the airport...visas are to let you leave the airport...

If your nationality requires a visa to visit Australia, then you will need a visa to visit friends in Sydney.

This page will assist you to determine if you need a visa, and what type. If you wish to leave the transit lounge for a few hours only then you will most probably require a transit visa (subclass 771).
