Indian passport holders need an Australian Visitor visa (subclass 600). You apply online and it's linked to your passport digitally.
What you need to know
•
India isn't eligible for the ETA or eVisitor, so apply for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream.
•
Apply online in ImmiAccount while you're outside Australia. You must stay outside Australia until a decision is made.
•
No label goes in your passport. The visa is linked to your passport digitally.
•
Length of stay is set case by case. It's usually 3 months, but can be up to 12 months.
•
You can holiday, cruise and visit family or friends. You can study for up to 3 months, but you can't work.
•
You may be asked to give biometrics, have health checks or provide a police certificate.
•
Don't make travel plans until you get written confirmation that your visa is granted.
•
You pay your own medical costs in Australia, so health insurance is strongly recommended.
