A practical guide for Bangladeshi passport holders who want to visit Australia for a holiday, to see family or friends, or for a short business trip. We help you prepare a complete, consistent application. The Australian Department of Home Affairs makes the decision.
At a glance
- Visa type: Visitor visa (subclass 600). Stays are usually granted for 3, 6 or 12 months.
- How you apply: online through ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website.
- Biometrics: applicants in Bangladesh give fingerprints and a photo at the Australian Visa Application Centre in Dhaka or Sylhet when asked.
- Government charge (paid to Home Affairs): set by the Department of Home Affairs and usually updated each July. Check the official fee page or the Visa Pricing Estimator before you pay.
- Processing time: set by Home Affairs and changes often. Check the official processing-times tool before you book travel.
Documents usually needed
- Valid passport
- Bank statements and proof of income that show you can pay for the trip
- Employer letter, business documents or proof of study, showing your reasons to return
- Invitation letter and proof of relationship if you are visiting family or friends
- Travel plan and previous travel history
Home Affairs may ask for more, such as health checks. The requirements on the official website are the final word for your case.
