Australia Visa Fees in Indian Rupees (2026–27)

Australia sets and charges its visa fees in Australian dollars (AUD). The Department of Home Affairs updated its visa pricing table at 12:27 am on 1 July 2026, and the fee you pay depends on the date the Department receives your application. Home Affairs: Visa fees and charges.

The rupee amounts below use ₹67.6 per A$1, a mid-market rate reported on 10 October 2026. Your actual cost will differ with the exchange rate and your bank’s or card’s charges, so use a live converter before you pay. Fees can also vary by applicant, so confirm yours with the official estimator linked below.

Australian Visa Fees in Rupees (From 1 July 2026)

These amounts match several fee guides for 2026–27, which cite the Home Affairs table. I could not read the table itself, so use the Visa Pricing Estimator to confirm the exact charge for your situation: Visa Pricing Estimator.

Student visa extras (reported by one guide): subsequent applicants aged 18 or over are listed at A530(about₹35,800)andthoseunder18atA175 (about ₹11,800). Confirm with the estimator.

What Changed on 1 July 2026?

Fee guides report that most charges rose by about 25% on 1 July 2026. The visitor visa went from A200toA250 and the student visa from A2,000toA2,500. The Temporary Graduate visa rose from A4,600toA5,750, after an earlier increase in March 2026. These figures come from third-party guides rather than the Department’s pages I could read, so check the estimator.

The date rule matters: the Department determines the cost by the date it receives your application, not when you prepared your documents. An application received before 1 July 2026 was charged at the older fee.

How Is the Rupee Cost Worked Out?

Multiply the AUD fee by the day’s AUD to INR rate:

• A$250 × 67.6 = about ₹16,900

• A$2,500 × 67.6 = about ₹1,69,000

A move of ₹1 in the exchange rate changes the visitor visa cost by only ₹250, but changes the student visa cost by ₹2,500, so larger fees are more sensitive. Your bank or card provider may add a foreign currency markup and a fee on top of the mid-market rate, so budget a little extra.

Which Visa Fee Applies to You?

Choose the visa that matches your purpose, since fees differ by subclass, stream and applicant. The Department notes that a lower cost may apply for eligible citizens of some countries, including Pacific Island countries, Timor-Leste and ASEAN members, but I did not see India listed, so check the estimator.

What Other Costs Come With an Australian Visa?

The visa application charge is only part of the budget. Depending on the visa, you may also need to pay for:

• Health insurance: international students must take Overseas Student Health Cover for the length of their course, which fee guides put at roughly A500toA700 per year for a single adult

• Health examinations and police certificates, where required

• Biometrics or application centre service charges, where applicable

• English tests, skills assessments or document translation

• Agent or consultant fees, which are separate from the government charge

I could not confirm the current service charges on official pages, so ask any provider for an itemised quote.

Is the Fee Refundable?

Fee guides say visa application charges are generally non-refundable if the application is refused. Check the Department’s refund rules before you apply.
