Notes: Indian citizens are not eligible for ETA (601) or eVisitor (651), so virtually all Indian visitor visas are subclass 600. Lodgement figures come from PDF tables where pdftotext shifted country labels; values were re-aligned using the % change and % of total columns and verified against the BP0018 pivot for grants (e.g. 2024-25 H1 grants 149,375 and 2025-26 H1 grants 151,336 match exactly).
Figures are computed from Home Affairs datasets on data.gov.au and cross-checked against the department's published reports; the Home Affairs website itself blocks automated access.
