Australian Traveler FAQs
Why does the Business e-Visa show a different price for Australia?
The website lists a specific price for Australia on the Business e-Visa for 1 year, and the page marks that row. It gives no reason for the difference. The other four options follow the standard list, and the fees page shows the same figures.
I am going for a holiday and one work meeting. Which category?
Name the main reason for the trip and read that category's page. For the mix, check current guidance carefully instead of guessing; the visa options page sets the three categories next to each other.
How should I use the Regular and Express estimates?
Treat them as a guide to the service: 4–5 working days for Regular and 2–3 for Express. Neither is a guarantee of approval or delivery, so keep a margin before booking anything hard to change.
What do I need to scan or photograph before anything else?
The passport bio-data page and a recent color photograph, which every category lists. Your purpose may add a letter, and the requirements guide explains each case. It is a general guide, and conditions can change.
What should Australian passport holders have ready before applying for an India eVisa?
Choose the category and service level that match your trip, then have your passport details, a recent photograph, your travel dates and any supporting documents ready, so you can enter every detail exactly as it appears in your documents.
