Apply online through immi.homeaffairs.gov.au. Processing takes 20 to 30 days for the tourist stream, but can be longer during busy periods.
Required documents include proof of funds, travel itinerary, employment letter, and bank statements. If you have family in Australia, an invitation letter helps. Australia also offers a 10-year frequent traveler visa (subclass 600) for Chinese nationals at AUD 1,085, with each stay capped at 3 months. All applicants may need to provide biometrics at the Australian Visa Application Centre in their city. Health examinations are required for stays over 3 months.
