Visitor visa (subclass 600) assistance for tourism, business, and sponsored family visits.
Australia's Visitor visa (subclass 600) is applied for online through ImmiAccount — most Indian applicants also need to give biometrics at a visa application centre. We help you complete the online form and prepare supporting evidence for your purpose of travel.
This guide covers what Indian applicants need before applying for an Australia visa — the categories available, the documents each one needs, the photo specification, and typical processing timelines. Rules can change, so use this as a practical planning reference and confirm the current position with us before you apply.

Common Mistakes Indian Applicants Make
Most avoidable delays and refusals come from a handful of recurring issues: a photo that does not meet the exact specification above, passport scans that are unclear or close to expiry, an unclear or inconsistent purpose of travel across documents, and proof of funds that does not match the length or cost of the trip. We check all of these before your Australia application is submitted.
