Do I need a visa for Australia from Iran?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Iranian citizens need a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to travel to Australia. Iran is not eligible for the free eVisitor, so the application goes through the Department of Home Affairs.
An Iranian national who wants to visit Australia for tourism or to see family must apply for a Visitor visa subclass 600. The application is made online through an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs portal. Applicants must show they have adequate funds and will leave Australia when the visa ends.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Unlike passports that qualify for the eVisitor or the ETA, Iranian citizens are not eligible for those streamlined options. The right visa for a temporary stay is the Visitor visa subclass 600, in its Tourist stream.
How and where to apply
The application is completed online by creating an ImmiAccount at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au. The applicant fills in the form, uploads supporting documents and pays the fee directly on the portal. Depending on the profile, biometrics may be required at an approved centre.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid Iranian passport, evidence of funds, a travel itinerary or purpose and, where relevant, a family invitation. Travel health insurance is strongly recommended. The fee is not confirmed here — check the official Department of Home Affairs portal for the current amount.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary by visa stream and by how complete the file is, so lodge the application well before the intended departure. Provide translated documents when requested and respond promptly to any request for further information. A complete, consistent file speeds up the decision.
Common mistakes
Refusals often come from insufficient evidence of funds, a weak or unclear purpose of stay, or missing documents. Do not book non-refundable flights before the visa is granted, and always verify the current requirements on immi.homeaffairs.gov.au.
