Australia is one of the most popular travel destinations for Indian tourists, offering breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and unique wildlife experiences. Whether you want to explore the Great Barrier Reef, visit Sydney Opera House, or enjoy the Australian outback, you need a Tourist Visa (Subclass 600) to enter Australia. At Global Immigration Consultant, we guide you through the entire process to make your Australian holiday smooth and hassle-free.
What is the Australia Tourist Visa?
The Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600 – Visitor Stream) allows Indian citizens to visit Australia temporarily for leisure, sightseeing, or family visits. This visa does not allow you to work or study, and is purely for tourism or short-term social visits.
It typically grants a stay of up to 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on your application and travel plans.
Types of Visitor Stream
The Tourist Visa (Subclass 600) has several categories:
Tourist Stream
For leisure travel, holidaying, sightseeing, or visiting family and friends.
Business Visitor Stream
For attending conferences, meetings, or business-related short trips (different from long-term business visas).
Sponsored Family Stream
For visiting family members in Australia, usually requires sponsorship from an Australian resident.
For Indian citizens traveling purely for tourism, the Tourist Stream is the most commonly applied category.
