Entry rules
Visa needed before you fly for up to 90 days, about ₹16,350
- Apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, online in ImmiAccount (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au) at least 6-8 weeks before you fly. The fee is AUD 250 (about ₹16,350) and is not refunded if the visa is refused.
- If asked, give biometrics (photo and fingerprints) at an Australian Visa Application Centre run by VFS Global; some applicants are also asked for a medical check.
- Wait for the grant letter before booking non-refundable flights: it is an electronic visa linked to your passport, with no sticker. Check the stay it allows (usually 3 months a visit) and any "no further stay" condition.
- On the plane, fill in the Incoming Passenger Card and tick "yes" for any food, spices, seeds or plant and animal products you carry. Declare it all; officers will check it and most packaged food is allowed.
Carry: Passport valid for the whole stay (6 months beyond is safest), the same one used for the visa; Visa grant letter (ImmiAccount, printout or PDF); Return or onward ticket; Proof of funds: recent bank statements and income-tax returns, and a leave letter from your employer or proof of your business; Hotel bookings or an invitation letter from your host in Australia; Travel insurance with medical cover (visitors are not covered by Medicare).
The visa fee went up on 1 July 2026: newer sources give AUD 250 for a Tourist-stream application made outside Australia, one older page AUD 200; check the Home Affairs Visa Pricing Estimator before you pay. Australia's biosecurity rules are strict: declare all food, or risk a fine and the cancellation of your visa.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
