Complete Guide for Indians
What is the Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600)?
The Australia Visitor Visa (Subclass 600) is a temporary visa that allows individuals to visit Australia for tourism, family visits, or short-term business purposes. It is the primary pathway for Indian citizens wishing to travel to Australia.
India is among Australia’s fastest-growing tourism source markets, with strong diplomatic ties and a large Indian diaspora making this one of the most applied-for visas. The entire application process is completed online via the ImmiAccount portal — making it streamlined and convenient.
With valid documentation, genuine travel intent, and sufficient financial proof, the Australia Tourist Visa has a high approval rate for Indian applicants. The visa can be valid for up to 12 months with stay periods of 3, 6, or 12 months depending on approval.

How to Apply for an Australia Tourist Visa from India
The entire Australia Tourist Visa application process is completed online via the ImmiAccount portal. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your intended travel date for standard processing.
Create Your ImmiAccount
Register for a free ImmiAccount on the official Australian Department of Home Affairs website. This is your portal for all Australian visa applications — use a valid email address you check regularly.
Fill the Online Application Form
Select "Visitor Visa — Subclass 600" and complete all sections accurately — personal details, travel history, purpose of visit, financial information, and health/character declarations. Answer every question honestly.
Upload All Required Documents
Scan and upload all required documents in PDF or JPEG format through ImmiAccount — passport, photographs, bank statements, employment proof, cover letter, travel itinerary, and accommodation bookings.
Pay the Visa Fee Online
Pay the visa application fee of approximately AUD 150–190 (~₹8,500–11,000) online via credit or debit card. All fees are non-refundable even in the event of a refusal. Additional service charges may apply.
Biometric Submission (if required)
The Department of Home Affairs may request biometric enrolment (fingerprints and photograph) at a designated collection point in India. You will be notified via ImmiAccount if biometrics are required.
Wait for Processing
Track your application status through your ImmiAccount. Standard processing takes 15–30 days; complex cases can take up to 45 days or more. You may be asked to provide additional documents if required by the assessing officer.
Receive Visa Decision
Your visa decision will be sent electronically to your ImmiAccount email — Australia does not stamp physical visa labels. Your visa details are stored electronically and linked to your passport number. G'day, Australia awaits!
