Australian visitor visa easier |
Wth Australia becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination, the Australian government has announced that Indian visitors can now apply for a visitor`s visa online. The online visa facility, which seeks to streamline and fasten the visa approval process, will start functioning from July 1. Users will have to create an ImmiAccount on the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) department`s portal (www.online.immi.gov.au). The account will offer several one-stop facilities like easy access, e-payments for visa application charge, status-check of the lodged application, etc. One of the major supplementary benefits is that the real-time tracking will help people plan their visits better, book their flights and travel arrangements with more certainty and much in advance -
that might even save some money. The move comes after several cases of delays in obtaining visitor visas for Australia and it would seem this facility will do more to address the issue. DIBP says the rising popularity of Australia as a holiday destination has been seen from Indians and thereby there has been a substantial increase in the demand for Australian visas by Indians.
