AUSTRALIA Visitor Visa

Overview

From Gorgeous beaches to indigenous culture, the blues and whites of the Great Barrier Reef to incredible landmarks to Sydney Opera House- Australia has tons of epic things to get on everyone’s bucket list.

The Australian government is actively processing tourist visas to cover up the local tourism industry damage after Covid 19. So, visa applications are processed faster, and the approval ratio is pretty high.

How to Apply

The first step to applying for a visa is to create an Immi Account. The Australian Government has this interactive online service where you can apply for appropriate visas.

Well, you only need a valid email address to sign up for an Immi account. The updates regarding your applications will be sent to this email, so you should use the email you check regularly.

After signing up, you will get a subclass 60 tourist visa form to fill up.

The visa form is interactive and shows you fields based on your circumstances. The form asks for your personal information, travel history, financial capacity, the purpose of the visit, and health declarations!

While you can fill and submit the visa form in one go, you can also save and exit the form any time. You can later come back and complete it from your Immi account.
