GENERAL INFORMATION
Label free travel arrangements from 1 October 2012
As of 1 October 2012, the South Asia region, including India will implement label-free visa travel
to Australia in line with the Australian Government’s global program.
Australia does not require a person holding a valid Australian visa to have a label in their passport
to travel to, enter or remain in Australia. Australia’s electronic visa system enables visa status to
be confirmed electronically.
Please carry the printout / visa approvals which comes from APAC visa team + original valid
passport and old passport along with vaild air ticket will be required at the time of travel. Please
ensure you have blank leaf in the passport for immigration stamp purpose.
If you obtain a new passport after you have been granted your visa approval, you must keep the APAC
Visas informed who in-turn will forward the details to TCS Australia who will advise the DIAC of your new
passport details.
It is especially important that we keep the DIAC informed about your new passport before you board your
plane for travel to Australia. If we do not provide this information to DIAC, you may experience significant
delays at the airport and may not be allowed to board your plane.
Australia 457 visa will be issued for
o Short Term - 3 Months (Medicals not required)
o Long Term - 4 Years (Medicals required)
If the associate returns to India on his 457 visa, he has to inform the immigration through his onsite BRM
about his arrival back to Australia.
Otherwise it will be cancelled by immigration in 1 month.
