The Australia Visa:
You must have a valid Australian visa to travel to and enter Australia. You must apply for the visa type that is most likely to meet your specific circumstances – whether for a holiday, business visit, education, short term work and more.
Online lodgement is the most convenient and efficient way of lodging a visa application for Australia. The most online lodged Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream applications are currently processed within 14 days, whereas paper lodged applications usually take between 28 to 42 days.
The Australia Visa is an E-Visa i.e. it is not a Sticker visa endorsed on the passport. If the visa is granted by the Australian High Commission, the E-Visa will be mailed to the registered Email ID which is mentioned on the visa form.
Applicants are advised to apply for an Australia Visa well in advance of the intended date of travel but not earlier then 90 days prior to the date of travel. A minimum of three weeks prior to travel is recommended to take care of unexpected delays. The Australian High Commission also recommends that applicants should not finalise travel arrangements until they have a valid visa to travel to Australia.

If you want to stay in Australia longer than your original visa lets you, you will need to apply for a further visa of the same kind or another Australia visa. How much longer you can stay in Australia will depend on the visa that you have, or the visa that you apply for.

All travellers applying for an Australia Visa must meet the health requirements. Whether you are required to undergo a medical examination and/or chest x-ray depends on your age, how long you intend to stay in Australia and your intended activity in Australia. You will be notified post submission of your Australia visa application if a medical examination is required. Generally applicants above age of 75years are required to undergo a medical examination.
