Overview
About the Australia visa for Indians
Indian passport holders need a visa to visit Australia. Most travellers apply for the Visitor visa (subclass 600), lodged online through the Department of Home Affairs ImmiAccount portal. It covers tourism, visiting family and short business visits, and may allow stays of up to three, six or twelve months depending on the grant. Applicants may be asked to give biometrics at an Australian visa application centre, and officers look closely at your finances, travel history and ties to India.
Audvik helps you present a strong, well-organised application. We choose the right stream, review your financial and employment documents, draft a clear covering letter, complete the online form and guide you through biometrics if required. We then track the application and respond promptly to any requests from the department. Once approved, we can book flights, hotels, domestic connections, travel insurance and complete Australia holiday packages.

The exact list depends on your profile (employed, self-employed, student, retired) and purpose of travel. We share a personalised checklist with your quote.
Important things to know
- Show genuine temporary entry: stable employment, property or family ties in India, and a clear return plan strengthen your application.
- Bank balances should be steady; large unexplained deposits just before applying can raise questions.
- Buy comprehensive travel and health insurance, as medical treatment in Australia can be very expensive for visitors.
- Approval is at the sole discretion of the Department of Home Affairs, so do not book non-refundable travel before the visa is granted.

Australia visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Australia?
Yes, Indian citizens need a visa to visit Australia. For holidays, family visits or short business trips, the Visitor visa (subclass 600) is the usual choice. It is applied for online, and you may be asked to give biometrics at an Australian visa application centre in India.
How long does an Australia visitor visa take?
Processing times vary with the season, the stream and the completeness of your file. Many tourist applications are decided within two to six weeks, but some take longer. We recommend applying at least six to eight weeks before your planned departure, especially for peak holiday periods.
How much bank balance do I need for an Australia visa?
There is no fixed minimum balance. The department looks for enough funds to cover flights, accommodation and daily expenses, supported by steady income and savings history. Consistent statements, tax returns and a clear itinerary matter more than a single large figure on one date.
Is travel insurance mandatory for an Australia visitor visa?
Insurance is not mandatory for most tourist applicants, but it is strongly recommended because healthcare costs for visitors are high. Some cases, such as older travellers or longer stays, may be asked to show health insurance. A good policy also covers cancellations and lost baggage.
Can Audvik book my flights and hotels for Australia?
Yes. Audvik can prepare your visitor visa application and also arrange flights, hotels, domestic flights between cities, travel insurance and complete Australia tour packages. Having your itinerary and bookings aligned with the visa application makes your file clearer and your trip easier to manage.
