Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600) Guidance
Support for Bangladeshi applicants preparing a genuine temporary entrant case for Australia's Visitor visa (subclass 600), covering tourism, family visits and short business trips.
Overview
What the subclass 600 visitor visa covers
The subclass 600 Visitor visa allows travel to Australia for tourism, visiting family, or short business activities. It does not permit paid work in Australia. Most Bangladeshi applicants apply under the Tourist stream or the Sponsored Family stream if a relative in Australia is inviting them.
The Department of Home Affairs assesses each application against the "genuine temporary entrant" criterion — essentially, whether your circumstances, ties to Bangladesh and travel history support a credible intention to return home after a temporary visit.

FAQ
Australia Tourist Visa (Subclass 600) Guidance — common questions
Processing times vary by the Department of Home Affairs' current workload and your individual circumstances. We advise applying well ahead of your intended travel date rather than relying on a fixed timeline.
Family members generally need their own individual applications, though supporting documents such as finances can sometimes be presented together. Your consultant will confirm the correct approach for your household.
We review the refusal reasons with you and discuss whether reapplying with stronger documentation is realistic, or whether a different visa category fits better.
