How to use this checklist
Start with the route facts first: citizenship, residence, application country, destination and purpose. Then review the document rows and order processing only where the row says it is required or optional.
Document requirements
| Document | Status | Scope | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use the actual Visitor 600 Tourist holiday route | required | visa application | A genuine personally funded hotel holiday. This is the Tourist stream applied for outside Australia, not an assumed ETA/eVisitor entitlement, business conference or Medical Treatment 602 route. |
| Clear colour passport identity pages | required | visa application | Provide current passport pages showing photograph, personal details, issue and expiry dates. Use a valid passport and matching application names; no universal six-month-after-return buffer or paper-photo size is inferred from these instructions. |
| National identity or name-change evidence where applicable | conditional | visa application | Include a national identity card if held/required and genuine name-change documents if relevant. The examples do not require every adult to supply an unrelated marriage or birth certificate. |
| English translation with translator details for non-English evidence | conditional | visa application | A translation prepared in India must identify the translator by full name, address, telephone number, qualifications and language experience, in English. Submit it with the source document. Outside-Australia accreditation is not mandatory; do not infer a separate certified translation, oath, notarisation or apostille. Certification of document copies is a different issue and may be requested separately. |
| Clear colour scans/photos; multipage documents in one file | required | visa application | Scan or photograph both English and non-English documents clearly in colour. Save a multipage document as one file and attach it only once even if it serves several purposes. Follow the personalised ImmiAccount attachment fields and validators; no universal file-size limit is established here. |
| Provide biometrics only through the channel in the actual request | conditional | visa application | Home Affairs will tell you if biometrics are needed. India is an Immi App location, but use that route only with an AUI-prefixed Visa Lodgement Number and a valid passport under the instructions. A different VLN requires ABCC attendance. Follow the individual deadline and any further request; no universal fourteen-day deadline is invented. |
| Follow actual health and character requirements and requests | conditional | visa application | Complete any required health examinations under Home Affairs instructions; eligible upfront examinations or a later request are separate from a treating-doctor letter. Provide military service/discharge records where applicable to the visitor stream, and a police certificate if requested. This is not an automatic apostille/PCC package for every adult. |
| Use the correct offshore ImmiAccount application and await the grant | required | visa application | Apply through ImmiAccount with the correct stream and all requested attachments. Stay outside Australia for this offshore application and decision. Do not treat a receipt as approval. Use the actual grant letter/VEVO for permitted stay, entries and conditions; category descriptions are not a guaranteed grant or processing time. |
| Evidence of funds for the real visit and departure | required | visa application | Show access to enough funds. Choose suitable evidence: Home Affairs examples include itemised personal bank statements over three months, payslips, tax records, audited accounts, term deposits or credit-card statements. This self-funded scope uses genuine personal bank evidence; the alternatives are not a mandatory combined bundle and no fixed balance is invented. |
| Genuine itinerary and reasons to return to India | required | visa application | Explain the purpose, accommodation, planned activities and return. As an employed visitor, include genuine leave/return-to-work evidence. Family, study, property or assets are other examples where relevant, not documents every applicant must cumulatively hold. A prepaid return ticket or hotel letter notarisation is not universally required by these instructions. |
| Check actual fee, insurance conditions and additional requests | required | visa application | Check the current Visitor 600 charge in the official estimator/ImmiAccount and any additional health/biometric costs. Arrange suitable cover; follow any health-insurance condition on the grant. No fixed policy limit or universal notarised financial guarantee is established by this guide. |

Offshore Tourist 600 guidance lists passport identity pages, applicable ID/name-change evidence, genuine visitor funds/plans/return ties and friend/family invitation where relevant. Bank statements over three months are a financial example, not a requirement for every listed alternative. Overseas translation needs translator details; no universal certification is stated.

Current official indexed Home Affairs document sections and directly readable visitor application guidance support the stated offshore scope. A normal browser 600 request returned Access Denied and was not bypassed; no personalised ImmiAccount was accessed. Document alternatives remain alternatives; translator location, accreditation and certification of copies are distinct. Individual additional evidence/file validators remain flagged.
- Australian Government Department of Home AffairsHome Affairs: visitor decision ready guidanceimmi.homeaffairs.gov.auLast checked 2026-10-26; evidence version australia-visitor-decision-ready-guidance-20261026
Current visitor guidance requires clear passport identity copy, matching names, purpose/plans, return reasons, funds and an invitation when visiting friends/family. Non-English evidence needs English translation; overseas translator details and Australian NAATI distinction apply. Individual requested attachments must all be supplied.
- Australian Government Department of Home AffairsHome Affairs: outside Australia translator detailsimmi.homeaffairs.gov.auLast checked 2026-10-26; evidence version australia-offshore-600-tourist-documents-20261026-translation
Translate non-English documents into English and include source and translation. Translators outside Australia need not be accredited; each translation states in English full name, address/phone, qualifications and language experience. Australia-located translators need NAATI. Certification of copies is separate and generally unnecessary unless asked. Colour legible multipage documents are saved as one file.
- Australian Government Department of Home AffairsHome Affairs: request based biometrics and AUIimmi.homeaffairs.gov.auLast checked 2026-10-26; evidence version australia-request-based-biometrics-and-AUI-20261026
India is an eligible location for the Australian Immi App, but the applicant also needs a biometrics request with VLN beginning AUI and a valid passport. Other VLNs require ABCC attendance. Follow the actual request; app submission is not visa approval and may prompt further instructions.
Exceptions
- Requirements and accepted document formats can change. Follow the linked authority for your exact purpose and application stage.
- Use row-level processing labels: translation, notarisation, apostille, embassy attestation and MEA or HRD attestation are not interchangeable.

FAQs
Are all documents for Australia tourism / holiday automatically translated?
No. Translation is shown per document row because official sources may accept some documents as issued while requiring translation for others.
Can I order document processing from this checklist?
Build your checklist using the route facts first. A processing option can be selected only where supported by the document row. Rows needing language or authentication confirmation remain under review before pricing.
