Tanzanian nationals need a Visitor visa (subclass 600) to travel to Australia. Tanzania is not eligible for the free eVisitor or the ETA.
A Tanzanian traveller wishing to visit Australia for tourism or to see family must apply for a subclass 600 Visitor visa. The application is made entirely online through the Department of Home Affairs' ImmiAccount service. Because no amounts are confirmed here, check the official portal for up-to-date fees and processing times.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Tanzania is not among the countries eligible for the free eVisitor (subclass 651) or the ETA. Its nationals must therefore apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600), usually in the Tourist stream for tourism or a family visit. This visa does not permit paid work.
How and where to apply
Tanzanian applicants create an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website, complete the subclass 600 form and upload their supporting documents. The process is online; a visit to an office is usually not required, though biometrics may be requested at an approved collection centre. Follow the official portal's instructions for your region.
Documents and fees
Prepare: a valid passport, a passport photo, proof of sufficient funds to cover the stay, an itinerary or return flight booking, an invitation letter where relevant, and evidence of your ties to Tanzania. The Visitor visa fee is not stated here: refer to the Department of Home Affairs portal for the official amount before paying.
Processing time and tips
Processing time varies with application volume and how complete your file is; check the Department of Home Affairs' indicative processing-time tool. Apply well before your intended departure, provide certified translations if your documents are not in English, and clearly show that you will leave at the end of your visit.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include insufficient proof of funds, missing evidence of ties to Tanzania, documents not translated into English, and applying too late. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted, and verify every requirement on immi.homeaffairs.gov.au before you submit.
