Process For Online Australia Visa Application

Yes. The tourist visa is Subclass 600 of the visitor visas to Australia. You will need to apply for this when you are outside Australia (a few weeks before arriving).

The stay period depends on the documents you submit, and the time you ask for. Options are between 3, 6 or 12 months. You will be granted a stay period based on which duration the Immigration Office thinks you are eligible for. If you are an eligible parent of an Australian citizen, you may be granted a longer stay period – hence, you will need to specify this separately. Please note, this is still a normal visitor visa, not an Australia parent visa (there is no such thing, parent visas are just normal visitor visas).

The visitor visa is a broader class that includes business and tourist visas as well. Depending on your reason for travel, you can choose one of the sub-classes. Here, you will get to know what you can/cannot do in each subclass. For example, a tourist visa (subclass 600) allows you to visit friends and family, cruise or have a holiday.

The online visa service that Australia offers is called the ETA. Indians are not currently eligible for this option, however, if you hold a passport from one of these countries/regions, you can apply:

Otherwise, you will have to go through the Embassy – an offline route. If you apply through Visa2Fly, we can do the back-end processing for you so that it feels just a click away!

ETA stands for Electronic Travel Authority. It is a visa type of Australia, that is electronically linked to your passport. You can use it to travel to Australia, and it can be obtained online. You cannot work on this visa.

Firstly, you must make sure that you go through each answer carefully to make sure all are correct. It is advised to go through the whole set of application answers so that you catch any last-minute mistakes. You will have the opportunity to review all the details you input, but you cannot change any after that. Once you confirm the details, you will be asked to pay the non-refundable fee online, and you cannot change any details after that. All details you input, however correct, must match those of your passport.
