FAQs

Australia visa, answered

Do Indians need a visa for Australia, and can we get an ETA?

Yes, a visa is required, and Indian passport holders are not eligible for the ETA or eVisitor. You apply for the Visitor visa (subclass 600), Tourist stream, online through ImmiAccount, with biometrics at a VFS Global centre in India. We guide you through every step.

How long does the Australia tourist visa take?

Around 11–28 days in early 2026, though it can take longer during busy periods. We recommend applying about 4–6 weeks before your travel date for a comfortable buffer.

When is the best time to visit Australia?

September–November (spring) and March–May (autumn) are ideal for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. December–February is warm summer and beach season but the busiest and priciest.

How long is the flight from Bangalore to Australia?

Qantas flies Bengaluru to Sydney non-stop in about 12 hours (note this route is suspended roughly 8 August to 24 October 2026). One-stop options via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or the Gulf run roughly 14–16 hours.

How many days do we need for Australia?

We suggest 8–9 nights for a first trip covering two or three regions, such as Sydney with the Gold Coast and Cairns, or Sydney with Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road. Australia is vast, so it is better to enjoy a few areas well.
