Australia’s Visitor visa (subclass 600) is the main option for Bangladeshi citizens who want to visit Australia for tourism or to visit family/friends, and applications are generally lodged online using ImmiAccount. This blog explains what the visa is, what documents usually help, and how to apply from Bangladesh in a clear, practical way.
What is Subclass 600?
The Visitor visa (subclass 600) is designed for short-term visits to Australia and includes different streams depending on your purpose (for example, Tourist or Sponsored Family). If you are applying from Bangladesh for tourism or to visit relatives, you will usually use the Tourist stream (apply outside Australia), unless you specifically qualify and choose the Sponsored Family stream.
Who can apply (key points)
You must show you are a genuine temporary visitor, have enough funds for the trip, and intend to leave Australia before your visa expires. You also need to meet Australia’s health and character requirements, and additional checks may be requested depending on your circumstances.
Documents checklist (Bangladesh-focused)
Typical documents that strengthen a Subclass 600 application include:
- Valid passport (bio page) and previous travel history (old visas/stamps if available).
- Proof of funds (bank statements, savings, fixed deposit certificates, sponsor support evidence if applicable).
- Employment/business proof (job letter, leave approval, pay slips; or trade license, company documents, tax papers for business owners).
- Proof of ties to Bangladesh (family ties, job/business commitments, assets/property papers if relevant).
- Travel plan (intended dates, cities, hotel booking plan, return plan).
- If visiting someone: invitation letter + host’s proof of lawful status in Australia (passport/visa/residence documents) and address details.
How to apply online (step-by-step)
- Create an ImmiAccount and start a Visitor visa (subclass 600) application.
- Choose the correct stream (commonly Tourist stream for applicants outside Australia).
- Complete the form carefully (personal details, travel purpose, funding, travel history) and upload supporting documents.
- Pay the visa application charge (VAC) and submit the application.
- After submission, check ImmiAccount regularly and respond quickly if the Department asks for biometrics, health examinations, or more documents.
Important visa conditions (very common)
Subclass 600 is a visitor visa—work is not allowed if condition 8101 is applied. Study is typically limited to up to 3 months if condition 8201 is applied. Some visas may include “No further stay” (condition 8503), which can restrict applying for most other visas while you are in Australia if it is imposed.
