Planning to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Australia? Whether it’s the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, or the coastal drive along the Great Ocean Road, Australia offers experiences unlike anywhere else.
Before you set off, you’ll need an Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600). The process can be detailed, but with professional support from Zodiac Holidays, Mumbai, it becomes simple and efficient.
This guide explains each step of applying for an Australia Tourist Visa from India in 2025, including requirements, documents, fees, and helpful insights.
Understanding the Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600)
The Subclass 600 Tourist Visa allows Indian travelers to visit Australia temporarily for leisure, holidays, or to meet family and friends.
It typically permits stays of up to three, six, or twelve months, depending on the applicant’s profile and travel history.
Applicants must demonstrate that they are genuine visitors, have sufficient financial means, and intend to return to India after their trip.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for an Australia Tourist Visa from India
The following steps outline the complete visa process, simplified by our experts at Zodiac Holidays.
Step 1: Create an ImmiAccount and Fill Out the Application Form
Start by creating an ImmiAccount on the official Australian Government immigration website. Complete the Form 1419 – Application for a Visitor Visa (Tourist Stream) online.

Ensure that all information — especially employment, finances, and travel history — is accurate and matches your supporting documents.
Step 2: Pay the Visa Application Fee
The standard Australia Tourist Visa fee is AUD $150 (approximately ₹8,200), payable online during the application submission.
Once payment is successful, you will receive an acknowledgment and a Transaction Reference Number (TRN), which you should keep for future correspondence.
