新南威尔士州州长克里斯·明斯在印度进行贸易访问期间发现，印度游客申请澳大利亚旅游签证的难度已成为制约悉尼获得更多直飞国际航班的关键瓶颈。1明斯计划就此问题向澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯提出，并建议政府简化签证审批流程。1
约18个月前签证规则的变更导致旅游签证审批过程变得更加困难。1旅游运营商和航空公司反复指出，签证问题是他们争取增加更多直飞航班的主要障碍。1明斯建议允许已获得美国或申根区签证批准的游客自动进入澳大利亚。1根据估算，增加一条直飞航班可能每年为新州带来约250万澳元的旅游收入。1
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has identified visa accessibility as a critical barrier preventing increased direct flights from Sydney to India.1 During a four-day trade mission to India, Minns discovered that difficulties Indian tourists face in obtaining Australian tourist visas are significantly hindering plans to expand air routes to western Sydney.1
Minns intends to raise the issue with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, advocating for streamlined visa approval procedures.1 He has proposed allowing travellers already approved for entry to the United States or the Schengen area to gain automatic access to Australia.1 The visa approval process became substantially more restrictive approximately 18 months ago, a change that tour operators and airlines have repeatedly identified as the main obstacle to securing additional direct flight services.1 A single additional direct air route could generate approximately A$250 million in annual tourism revenue for the state, according to Minns's assessment.1
