Document specifications, one by one
You apply for the Australian Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, online through ImmiAccount. Home Affairs says to include as much information as possible, because it can decide your application without asking you for more. Every document goes in as a clear scan, and anything not in English needs an English translation.
Passport
- Colour scan of the photo page, with all four corners and the two machine-readable lines visible.
- Scan every page that has stamps or old visas, not only the photo page. Past travel helps your case.
- Use a current passport. If you have an old passport with past travel, add a scan of that too.
- Each traveller, including children, needs their own separate application.
Proof you can pay for the trip
- Last 6 months of bank statements as PDFs issued by your bank, not screenshots.
- Salary slips, pension statement or business income proof, depending on your situation.
- Latest income tax return (ITR acknowledgement) is a strong, simple proof for Indian applicants.
- If someone else is paying, add their bank statements, income proof and a short sponsorship letter.
Proof you will come back to India
- Employer leave letter or no-objection letter with your return-to-work date.
- Business registration or GST certificate if you are self-employed.
- Student ID and a leave letter from your college if you are studying.
- Property papers or family ties help show a reason to return. Keep them short and relevant.
Trip plan
- A simple day-by-day plan with cities and dates.
- Flight and hotel bookings can be provisional. Do not pay for non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
- If you are visiting family or friends, add an invitation letter with their address, phone and their Australian visa or citizenship proof.
- Make every date match across the form, the plan and the bookings.
Health and insurance
- All applicants must meet Australia's health requirements. You may be asked for a medical exam or chest x-ray after you apply.
- Home Affairs recommends health insurance for your stay. Visitors are generally not covered by Australia's public health scheme.
- If you are 75 or older, you may be asked for evidence of health insurance.
- Only do a medical when ImmiAccount tells you to. Results are usually valid for 12 months.
Common document mistakes for an Australia visitor visa
These are the problems that most often slow down or weaken an Indian visitor visa file.
- Uploading only the passport photo page. Add scans of pages with old visas and travel stamps. A good travel history is useful evidence.
- Bank statement screenshots. Download the PDF statement from net banking or get a stamped statement from your branch.
- A sudden large deposit just before applying. Show savings built up over time. If there is a large credit, add a one-line note and proof of where it came from.
- Documents in Hindi or another language with no translation. Add an English translation for every document that is not in English.
- Dates that do not match. Make the travel dates on the form, the itinerary, the leave letter and the bookings the same.
- Invitation letter with no host proof. Attach the host's passport, visa or citizenship proof and their address in Australia.
- Booking non-refundable flights first. Use refundable or provisional bookings until the visa is granted.
