1Understand the basics

What you need to know

What is a flight itinerary โ€” and why does Australia's Subclass 600 GTE assessment require one before your application is decided?

Australia's Department of Home Affairs assesses every Subclass 600 application against the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) criterion โ€” and the core question is: will this person actually leave when their visa expires? A return flight itinerary directly answers that question for the case officer. The problem is that Home Affairs takes 20โ€“33 days to decide most applications; buying non-refundable return flights before grant notification means weeks of financial exposure. Vietnamese applicants face a ~15% refusal rate, Pakistani applicants ~20% โ€” an AUD $600โ€“1,200 Sydney or Melbourne return is real money to have frozen at risk. A Flightinary itinerary resolves the GTE travel evidence requirement with zero financial exposure.

What a flight itinerary is

A professionally formatted travel document generated from real-time aviation data โ€” displaying actual flight numbers, airline carrier codes, IATA airport identifiers, and departure and arrival schedules. It shows the Department of Home Affairs your full travel plan without requiring a purchased ticket.

Why not just buy a real ticket?

Vietnamese applicants face a ~15% refusal rate; Indonesians ~12%; Filipinos ~10%. A Sydney or Melbourne return from Ho Chi Minh City or Manila costs AUD $600โ€“1,200. With 75% of online applications decided within 20 days but some stretching to 33+ days, real money can be at risk for weeks. A flight itinerary for the Australian visa application carries none of that exposure.

Does Flightinary's itinerary work for ImmiAccount submissions?

Yes. Flightinary itineraries are generated from live GDS data โ€” the same underlying aviation database used by travel agents worldwide. Every document includes real flight numbers, correct routing via IATA codes, and accurate scheduling โ€” formatted to be read as a credible travel reservation by Department of Home Affairs case officers.

Full document checklist

Everything you need for an Australia Subclass 600 application

The GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) criterion is the backbone of every Subclass 600 assessment. Your entire document pack must tell a coherent story: you are a genuine tourist with the means to fund your trip, a clear reason to return home, and planned entry and exit dates backed by a credible flight itinerary for the Australian Visitor Visa.

Australia's Subclass 600 does not require biometrics for most nationalities (though some exceptions apply). The application is entirely online via ImmiAccount โ€” no physical documents are submitted unless specifically requested by the Department of Home Affairs.

Identity & visa form

  • Valid passport

    Must cover your entire planned stay in Australia; previous passports showing international travel history are valuable

  • Online Subclass 600 application

    Completed via ImmiAccount at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au โ€” the Tourist Stream for visitor purposes

  • Passport-size digital photo

    Uploaded digitally โ€” follow the Department of Home Affairs biometric photo specifications

  • Character documentation

    Police clearance may be required for stays over 12 months or for nationalities where it is routinely requested

Travel itinerary

  • Flight itineraryWe provide this

    Inbound and outbound Australian flights with real flight numbers โ€” the return itinerary directly addresses the GTE "will they leave?" question

  • Accommodation bookings

    Hotel confirmations or Airbnb bookings for Australian stay; or host invitation letter if staying with someone

  • Travel plan overview

    A brief itinerary of Australian cities, activities, and dates โ€” optional but helps borderline GTE assessments

  • Health and travel insurance

    Certificate of insurance showing coverage dates and scope โ€” not mandatory but recommended and noted favourably

Financial proof

  • Bank statements

    Last 3โ€“6 months showing consistent balance adequate for your trip โ€” AUD $5,000+ for a 2-week visit is a reasonable benchmark

  • Employment letter

    On company letterhead confirming your role, salary, and approved leave period

  • Payslips

    Last 3 months confirming ongoing employment and regular income

  • Sponsorship declaration

    If someone in Australia is funding your visit โ€” include their Australian status documents, bank statements, and signed declaration

Ties to home country

  • Employer leave approval

    Formal letter confirming approved leave dates and that your position will be held โ€” the strongest GTE evidence available

  • Property ownership or lease

    Title deed, land certificate, or registered rental agreement at your home address

  • Family responsibilities

    Marriage certificate and children's birth certificates โ€” demonstrate compelling obligations to return

  • Business or professional registration

    For self-employed applicants โ€” company registration, business licence, or professional membership documents

"Ties to home country" is where most applications fail. Health insurance is not mandatory for the Australian Visitor Visa โ€” but medical treatment in Australia is expensive without it. More importantly, demonstrating that you can cover unexpected costs (including medical) is part of the financial adequacy assessment. A travel insurance policy helps here.

Know your profile

How your nationality affects your Australia Subclass 600 application

The GTE criterion means the Department of Home Affairs considers 'home country factors' including economic conditions and migration pressure from your country. This is assessed holistically โ€” your individual profile matters, but your nationality establishes the base level of scrutiny your application will receive.

Refusal rates are estimated from Australian Department of Home Affairs visa statistics (2024). Processing times reflect the 75th and 90th percentile benchmarks published by Home Affairs โ€” 75% within 20 days, 90% within 33 days for online Tourist Stream applications as of 2025.

๐Ÿ”ด Higher scrutiny โ€” Pakistan (~20%)

Write a detailed GTE statement โ€” Australia's Department of Home Affairs specifically reviews this. Explain clearly why you want to visit Australia, what you will do, and most importantly why your circumstances at home (job, family, property, business) guarantee your return. Generic statements fail; specific, personal, and verifiable ones succeed.

๐ŸŸก Medium scrutiny โ€” Vietnam (~15%), Indonesia (~12%), India (~10%), Philippines (~10%)

Document quality often determines the outcome for medium-scrutiny applicants. Ensure your bank statements show a consistent pattern โ€” not a sudden deposit. Your employment letter should be on verifiable company letterhead. Your flight itinerary should show realistic routing for a genuine tourist, and your accommodation bookings should align with your stated travel plan.

Stay rules โ€” explained

How long can you stay in Australia on a Subclass 600 Tourist visa?

Unlike most other visitor visas, the Australia Subclass 600 can be granted for 3, 6, or 12 months depending on the officer's assessment of your circumstances. First-time applicants typically receive 3 months. The granted stay is the period during which you must depart โ€” there is no 90/180-day rolling calculation to manage.

3โ€“12

Month stay granted

3 months is standard for first-time applicants. Repeat travellers with clean history may receive 6 or 12 months. The grant letter specifies your exact stay period.

20

Day typical processing

75% of online Subclass 600 Tourist Stream applications are decided within 20 days. Online applications process significantly faster than paper alternatives (AUD $370).

0

In-person appointments needed

Australia's eVisa system is fully digital โ€” no embassy visits, no biometrics for most nationalities, no physical document submission. The entire process happens through ImmiAccount.

Australia records every arrival and departure electronically. Overstaying your Subclass 600 results in an automatic 3-year exclusion from Australia and may affect applications to other countries that share immigration data. Always depart by your authorised stay date โ€” visible in ImmiAccount.
