Important Info
- Applications are lodged online through ImmiAccount. Indian passport holders are not eligible for the ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651) — the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, is the correct route.
- Many Indian applicants are asked to provide biometrics in person at a VFS Global centre; we schedule this appointment once requested by the Department of Home Affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Australia?
Yes. Indian passport holders must apply for a Visitor visa (Subclass 600) — the online ETA and eVisitor options are restricted to specific passports that do not include India.
Is biometric submission mandatory?
Most Indian applicants are asked to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) at a VFS Global Australian Visa Application Centre; this is confirmed by a request letter after you submit your application.
How long does the Australia visitor visa take?
Typical processing is around 20-30 days from a complete application, though this varies by case complexity and season.
How long can I stay in Australia?
The Tourist stream typically grants stays of 3 to 12 months per visit, valid for multiple entries within the visa's validity period.
What causes Australian visa refusals for Indian applicants?
The most common reason is weak evidence of ties to India — insufficient proof of stable employment, property, or family reasons to return — alongside incomplete financial documentation.
