Common questions about documents
Which Australia visa do Pakistanis need for tourism?
Most tourists apply for the Visitor visa (subclass 600) in the Tourist stream, lodged online through ImmiAccount.
Do I need a sponsor for an Australia visit visa?
Not for the Tourist stream. The Sponsored Family stream requires an eligible sponsor in Australia, who may need to provide documents.
Is health insurance required?
It is strongly recommended. Australia's public health system does not normally cover visitors, and medical costs can be very high.
Do Australian visa documents need to be certified?
Generally, clear colour scans of original documents are accepted. Certified copies are only needed if the Department asks for them.
How should I name the files I upload?
Use clear names such as "Bank statements Jan–Jun 2026" or "Employer letter". Clear labels help the case officer find your strongest evidence.
Do I need a police certificate for an Australia visitor visa?
Not usually for a visit. The Department will ask if it is required for your case.
