Australia · Visit
Visit Australia for tourism, family visits or short business trips. Pakistani applicants apply online through ImmiAccount, and the officer looks closely at funds, ties to Pakistan and travel history.
The Tourist stream covers holidays and visiting family or friends. The Business Visitor stream covers meetings, conferences and negotiations, but not work. The Sponsored Family stream needs an Australian relative to sponsor you and may require a security bond.
Stays are usually granted for up to 3, 6 or 12 months. You cannot work on a visitor visa.
Requirements
Your documents need to tell one consistent story.
A clear reason and plan for the trip, such as an itinerary, invitation letter or event registration.
Bank statements and income records that show you can pay for the trip, or a sponsor's support with evidence.
Employment, business, property, family and study commitments that show you will return.
Previous visas and trips help. Declare every previous refusal from any country.
Strongly advised, and may be required for older applicants or longer stays.
Medicals and police certificates can be requested, depending on age and length of stay.
Documents
Upload clear colour scans with your online application.
Valid for your whole trip, ideally with six months left after you return, plus a recent photo.
Bank statements for the last 3 months, payslips or tax returns, or your sponsor's financial documents.

Is the visa fee refunded if refused?
No. The AUD 250 application charge is not refunded if the visa is refused.
Can my parents visit me in Australia for longer?
Parents of Australian citizens or permanent residents may be eligible for longer stays, including multiple-entry visitor visas. We check which option fits.
Can I apply again after a refusal?
Yes, usually. A new application should address the reasons given in the refusal letter.
How much bank balance do I need?
There is no fixed amount. You must show enough money for flights, accommodation and daily costs for your planned stay, with a clear source of funds.
Can I work on a visitor visa?
No. Work for an Australian business is not allowed on the Subclass 600.
Do I need an invitation letter?
It is not always required, but it strongly helps if you are visiting family, friends or a business. It should give the host's details and the dates of your visit.
Do I need travel insurance?
It is not usually mandatory, but strongly recommended, because Australian medical care is expensive for visitors.
Will I need a medical exam?
Usually only for longer stays, generally over six months, or if Home Affairs asks because of your health history.
We review your documents and invitation before you lodge, so your application is clear and complete.
