This category is the central resource for applicants navigating the Australian Visitor (subclass 600) visa. The application is handled almost entirely online via the “ImmiAccount,” and specific requirements, like health insurance for certain applicants, can be complex. This forum is for sharing experiences, getting community advice on the portal, and understanding document requirements.

This category focuses exclusively on the Australian Visitor 600 visa. The key difference is its fully digital application process. Unlike the U.S. (mandatory interview) or Canada (widespread biometrics), the Australian process is primarily document-based online. It also has a unique and often mandatory health insurance (OVHC) requirement, which is stricter than the general travel insurance needed for a Schengen visa.
