Australia e-Visa for citizens of Iran: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. Travellers holding an Iranian passport must have the required electronic authorisation before travelling to Australia, and an application cannot be lodged on arrival. The authorised stay is 3 months; this is the maximum time in Australia, not the visa validity or the processing time.

The documents to upload and any applicable fees are not specified in the available information. Check the exact document list, accepted formats and any fee amount on the official Australian authorities portal or with the relevant embassy before submitting an application.

The application must be completed online before departure through the official portal of the Australian authorities. Follow the steps shown on that portal, provide the requested information and upload the required items before submitting the application in line with the official instructions.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Iran but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

No processing time is stated in the available information. Submit the application sufficiently before departure and check the official portal regularly for its status, any instructions and any additional request from the Australian authorities.

Avoid unofficial intermediary websites, which may charge extra service fees or higher amounts. Do not travel expecting to submit an application on arrival in Australia: the electronic authorisation must be obtained online before departing from Iran.
