What is the Subclass 600 Visa?
The Subclass 600 Visitor Visa is a temporary visa that allows individuals from any nationality to visit Australia for tourism, to visit family and friends, or for short-term business activities. It is the primary visitor visa pathway for nationalities not eligible for ETA (Subclass 601) or eVisitor (Subclass 651) — including Indian passport holders. The visa typically allows stays of 3 to 12 months, with single or multiple entry options. It does not permit paid employment.
