Australia Visa for Indians

Best Visa Stamping Agency For Australia

Australia is not only one of the most popular tourist destinations but is also known for its strict immigration
regulations. It maintains a standard visa regime for every non-citizen of Australia. The visa is obtained only if the law
permits it. The country is admired for its visitor visa, as it is exempted to:

  • New Zealand citizens, under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement
  • Citizens belonging to countries that are eligible for ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)
  • Visitors who qualify for a visa-free travel under special programs like Special Purpose Visa

However, since September 1, 2015, Australia stopped issuing visa labels. Therefore, all visa types are granted and
stored in a central database. The visa details can be accessed only via VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification
Online), a digital service that is administered by the Immigration and Border Protection Department.
