1. Tourist Stream
The Tourist stream is the most common pathway for people who want to explore Australia for leisure. It covers holidays, recreation, cruises and visiting friends or family. Applicants must show they will leave Australia before their visa expires and that they have enough funds to support themselves during the stay. This is the stream most people mean when they search for an australia tourist visa. It can be granted for 3 months or 12 months depending on the applicant’s circumstances. Multiple entries are possible if approved.
2. Business Visitor Stream
The Business Visitor stream is for people travelling to Australia for short-term professional activities. This includes attending conferences, negotiating contracts, making business enquiries or joining trade fairs. It does not allow the visa holder to work for an Australian employer or receive payment from an Australian source. It is not a work visa. Applicants need to demonstrate the purpose is genuinely business-related and temporary. Supporting documents like invitation letters or event registrations strengthen the application.
3. Sponsored Family Stream
The Sponsored Family stream is designed for people who need additional support to obtain a visitor visa. An eligible sponsor — usually an Australian citizen, permanent resident or approved organisation — takes responsibility for the applicant’s conduct and departure. This stream is often used when an applicant has been previously refused or has limited financial evidence on their own. The sponsor must lodge a formal sponsorship before the visa is granted. It adds a layer of accountability that gives Home Affairs greater confidence the applicant will comply with visa conditions.

FAQ
The primary visa fee is AUD 200, which is approximately BDT 18,000–20,000 at current exchange rates. This is paid online and is non-refundable.
Depending on your visa conditions, you can stay up to 3, 6, or 12 months per visit. Most multiple-entry visas allow up to 3 months on each entry during the visa’s validity period. Check your grant letter for exact conditions.
There is no officially stated minimum. The key is that your balance must convincingly show you can afford the trip. As a general guideline, having at least BDT 5–10 lakh in a stable account, along with consistent income, strengthens your case. This also depends on your occupation, social status, lifestyle and your purpose. If you are a business owner, you might be required to show higher amount.
The Australian government’s preferred method is online through ImmiAccount, and this is how most Bangladeshi applicants lodge. If you need to submit in person, the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) in Dhaka handles lodgement and biometric collection. Either way, your application will be assessed by the Department of Home Affairs offices in Colombo or Delhi — not locally. This means communication comes from those offices, and any requests for further information will reference those processing locations.
