Australia Visa Information - Bangladesh - Visa Types

Who should apply?

Australia's temporary residence policy facilitates the entry, on a temporary basis, of people who can contribute to the economic, cultural and social development of the Australian community. Temporary residence visas allow people to live and work in Australia for a limited time. Most subclasses require sponsorship by an Australian organisation which must be approved by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) in Australia before the application is lodged.

There is a variety of visa options available to participate in specific professional, cultural or social activities in Australia.

For detailed information on options for people wanting to live and work in Australia temporarily please refer

Applications for some categories of Temporary Residence visa (for instance, Entertainers, Medical Practitioners, Working Holiday Makers) must be sent directly to a processing office in Australia. Details of how and where to lodge applications are shown on the website.

Applications for Long Stay (Business) visas can be lodged either in Australia or online
