Australia has introduced electronic tourist visa in India enabling Indians to obtain a visa online. The Indian citizens lodging a visa application online through an approved Australian travel agent would not need to submit paper forms or send the passport through the mail. The number of tourist visas granted in the last five years has risen from 27,390 in 2000-2001 to 33,700 in 2004-2005. Australia offers electronic visa in 46 countries and regions including the European Union members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, while 34 countries use Australia's electronic travel authority online visa approval system.
