I understand wat u guys say. But just due to personal reasons I preferred to come to Mumbai. Was wondering if there is any specific reason why tourist visa may not be given toa newborn?

I agree with WRussell, if you deliver the baby in Australia they will be an Australian citizen immediately and you can forgo the effort, time and cost of a child visa.  There's no guarantee your child would be granted a visitor visa which means they would need to remain outside Australia until a child visa is granted, so becoming an instant citizen is simpler.

Hi All.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me in this matter. I and my husband are PR of Australia. I am expecting to deliver a child soon and hence I came back to Mumbai. I want to go back To Aus soon after delivering. I was thinking for applying for child 101 visa first from Mumbai and then immediately also for a tourist visa for 1year for our new born. This way we could get our child to Aus sooner and not wait for months for 101 visa to come. I believe when my child will be granted 101 visa, il have to go offshore to get the visa. Can someone please guide me for this. My guess is that I can do the above, but as rules keep on changing I want to be 100% sure before we apply for it. Thanx all
