Australia Visa from Pakistan
Quick answer
Pakistani applicants apply for an Australian Visitor visa (subclass 600) online through ImmiAccount, showing funds, ties to Pakistan and a genuine plan to visit temporarily. Biometrics may be requested and are collected at a VFS centre in Islamabad, Karachi or Lahore. Processing times and the application charge change, so confirm both on the Home Affairs website.

Honest guidance
We review your case properly — including telling you honestly if your file isn't ready yet.
Common questions, answered.
Processing times vary by case and by time of year. The Department of Home Affairs publishes a live guide for Visitor visas, and complete applications with clear evidence tend to move faster. Check the guide, and apply well before you need to travel.
It depends on your profile: your work or business, income, family ties, travel history and how clearly your application tells the truth. We don't quote success rates, because every case is different. During the free eligibility check we tell you honestly where you stand and what to fix before you apply.
Most applications are decided on documents alone. If the Department asks for biometrics, you give fingerprints and a photo at a VFS centre in Islamabad, Karachi or Lahore. Check your request letter for how to proceed and the deadline.
Online through ImmiAccount, the Department of Home Affairs portal. There is no embassy counter application for most visitors. If you have family in Australia, you may also be able to use the sponsored family stream, which has its own requirements.
The Visitor visa (subclass 600) application charge depends on the stream and applicant, and the Department adjusts charges regularly. Confirm the current amount in the official fee tool before you pay, as the charge you pay is the one that applies on the day your application is received.
There is no fixed minimum. You need to show funds that realistically cover your flights, accommodation and daily costs for the whole stay, with steady activity over the last 6 months. Unexplained deposits count against you.
Yes. We start by reading the refusal letter to understand the exact reason, then rebuild the application around it. We'll also tell you honestly if reapplying now isn't worthwhile and what would need to change first.
