The Australian government will put in place from March 1, 2004 new arrangements to make it easier to apply for business or tourist visa from India.

Indians applying for a tourist or business visa would be able to lodge their applications at six visa application and collection centres in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, Australian High Commissioner to India Penny Wensley said.

"There has been a large increase in the number of Indians seeking to travel to Australia. We expect this trend to continue and accelerate as our bilateral relations grow in strength, scope and substance," the envoy said.

Each visa application and collection centre would provide services to clients between 0900 and 1700 hours Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, Australian High Commission said in a press release.
