Whenever we plan a trip to abroad, we often list out a bunch of things of whatever we wish to do or see or eat in that particular place. The reason to visit a foreign land is to experience a different culture that you have never seen before. So if I ask you to pick out your favourite destinations spot abroad, what would it be? Now I don’t know about you but a lot of Indians like to visit Australia and I am definitely one of them too. There is an enormous list to the reasons why one would love to visit Australia, but given below are some of my favourite reasons:
- The great barrier reef
- Sydney
- Uluru
- Barbecue
- Wine
- Surfing
- Beaches
- Lush jungles
So i guess these many reasons are enough to make you want to go to Australia as well. But it is not that simple if one wants to go abroad. One would need an Australia visitor visa from India. So how does a visitor visa work? Or what is a visitor visa? The visitor visa lets you visit Australia for tourism or business visitor activities. Tourism includes holidays, refreshment and seeing family or friends. Business visitor activities include attending a conference, negotiation or an exploratory business visit. Visitor visa is for the short term entry of people for tourism or business occasions. Before applying, the applicants should decide the visa subclass under which they wish to lodge their visa application. The different categories catered are:

After deciding the sub category, let us talk about how to get an Australian tourist visa for Indian citizens. One needs to apply for the visa forms in order to a visitor visa to Australia. There are 3 main sub-classes when it comes to Australian visitor visa:
