About the Australia visa

Australia offers Sydney's Opera House and harbour, Melbourne's cafés and sport, the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru and the Great Ocean Road. Indian passport holders need a Visitor visa (subclass 600), which is applied for online and granted electronically, with no sticker in the passport.

The Tourist stream allows stays of up to 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on what is granted. Processing time varies, so apply well before you travel, especially for cricket season, Christmas and the school holidays.
