Guidance with conditions
Subclass 600 Tourist stream, applying from India while outside Australia. The grant determines stay and conditions; not the Sponsored Family, business, medical, ETA or eVisitor streams. Health, character and longer-stay circumstances can require further evidence.
Official instructions reviewed 14 September 2026. Choose traveller details to narrow conditional evidence. Unknown answers retain conditions. No visa approval or processing-time guarantee; additional authority requests remain possible.
