Australia Visitor visa (subclass 600) and ETA

Tourist and business visitor streams, plus electronic options.

Overview

About this visa

The subclass 600 visitor visa covers both tourism and business visitor activities, with several streams to suit different travellers and purposes.

Eligible passport holders may instead use the electronic ETA (subclass 601) or eVisitor (subclass 651), which are quicker online alternatives for short visits.

Whichever option applies, a strong application shows a genuine, temporary visit, sufficient funds and clear ties to your home country.

This may suit you if

  • You are visiting for tourism or business
  • You want a short stay
  • You can show funds and home ties
  • You want the right visitor option

Frequently asked questions

Why are visitor visas refused?
Most refusals come down to the officer not being satisfied that the visit is genuine and temporary, or that you have enough funds and strong reasons to return home. We help you present clear purpose, sufficient funds and strong home ties.
Can I get a visitor visa to see family?
Yes - visiting family is a common and accepted reason to travel. Where you are visiting relatives, we prepare a proper invitation and supporting evidence to strengthen your application.
How long will my application take?
Processing times vary by visa type and change regularly, and they depend on your documents and personal circumstances. We give you a realistic, up-to-date estimate for your situation and keep you informed while the case is assessed.
Can I include my family?
Many visas let you include a partner and dependent children, either together with your application or by adding them later. We confirm exactly who you can include and prepare their documents alongside yours.
Do I have to visit your office in Jalandhar?
No. We work with clients across India and around the world. Your case can be handled entirely by phone, email and video call if that is easier for you.
