The visitor visa has several streams - most Indians use the Tourist Stream.
For holidays, sightseeing and visiting family or friends. Stays of 3, 6 or 12 months at the case officer's discretion. No work permitted.
For meetings, conferences and negotiations (not employment). A company/invitation letter strengthens the application.
Where an Australian relative sponsors your visit - sometimes with a security bond. Processing tends to be longer.
For eligible frequent business travellers, offering longer-validity multiple entry. We'll advise if you qualify.
The core checklist - we tailor it to your stream and profile.
As a guideline, demonstrate roughly AUD 5,000-10,000 per month of stay plus return flights. Strong, stable finances and clear ties to India are the biggest factors in approval.
Australian visitor visa processing for Indians typically runs around 15-30 days, though peak season (roughly October-February and May-July) can push it longer. Straightforward, complete applications are often decided faster.
Apply at least 4-6 weeks before travel. There's no reliable cheap fast-track for the Tourist Stream, so the best lever you control is a complete, consistent file. We make sure nothing's missing, so you don't lose time to requests for more documents.
