Australia visitor visa guide

Commonly requested as the core identity document for the online application.

Helpful direction: Check it covers your entire intended stay — bring previous passports too if you have travel history.

The subclass 600 application is lodged online through ImmiAccount — this documents that you've applied, not evidence that you meet the visitor requirements on its own.

Helpful direction: Keep your transaction reference number (TRN) handy for the rest of the process.

Often requested as part of the online application or biometrics appointment.

Helpful direction: A recent, plain-background photo is commonly accepted.

Commonly used to show you can support your stay and travel — there is no official fixed minimum balance; explain any large or unusual recent deposits.

Helpful direction: Consistent balances are often easier to review than a single large, recent deposit.

Often used to show your employment status and employer-confirmed leave for the trip.

Helpful direction: Ask for a letter that includes your position, tenure, salary, and the travel dates your employer has confirmed.

Helps tell a clear, consistent story about your planned visit.

Helpful direction: A loose but complete plan is often better than a highly detailed one with gaps.

Can help show your intention to return home after the trip.

Helpful direction: Property documents, family ties, or a return-to-work letter can all help here.
