Genuine Visitor Requirement

Show That Your Visit to Australia Is Temporary.

Visitor visas are intended for genuine temporary visitors. Your application should clearly show the purpose of the trip and your reasons for returning after your holiday.

01
Employment

Current employment, approved leave and ongoing work responsibilities can help demonstrate reasons to return.

02
Family & Residence

Family responsibilities and established residence may support your temporary-visitor circumstances.

03
Study or Other Commitments

Education, business and other ongoing commitments may also support your intention to return.

Employment Documents

Working in the UAE? Your Employment Evidence Can Strengthen Your File.

Employment Employer Letter / NOC
Income Current Payslips
Leave Approved Holiday Dates
Your employer letter should support your travel story.

Where applicable, it should confirm your current employment and approved leave, helping demonstrate that you have an ongoing reason to return after your trip.

Business Owners & Self-Employed Applicants

Business ownership can form part of your evidence of employment, financial circumstances and reasons to return.

01

Provide the applicable current company or trade licence documentation.

02
Ownership Evidence

Company ownership or partnership documents may support your employment profile.

03
Financial Evidence

Australian Home Affairs recommends providing evidence showing that you have enough money to support yourself during the trip, such as recent bank statements.

Banking Recent Bank Statements
Income Payslips / Regular Income
Purpose Cover Travel & Stay
There is no one universal minimum bank balance for every tourist.

The amount considered reasonable depends on your travel duration, accommodation, trip costs, number of travellers and overall financial circumstances.

Someone Else Paying for Your Trip?

If a relative, friend or another person is funding your Australian visit, supporting evidence should explain who is paying and their relationship to you.

Explain who is providing financial support and what costs they will cover.

02
Sponsor Financials

Relevant financial evidence may be required to demonstrate that the sponsor can support the trip.

03

Flight Planning

Do You Need to Buy Your Flight Before Visa Approval?

Australia advises travellers to submit visa applications well ahead of travel and suggests booking flights after the visa has been granted.

Avoid unnecessary non-refundable travel commitments.

Garnet Tourism can help you plan suitable flight options, but visa approval should not be assumed before the Australian authorities issue the visa.

Visiting Family or Friends

Staying With Someone in Australia?

If your purpose is to visit family or friends, an invitation letter and relevant host information can help explain the purpose and arrangements of your trip.

Host Invitation Letter

Home Affairs recommends outlining previous travel history in as much detail as possible where available.

Previous Visas Include Relevant Copies

UAE residence does not by itself determine Australian visa eligibility, but residence, employment and family circumstances can form part of your evidence showing your established life outside Australia.

Residence UAE Residence Visa
Identity Emirates ID
Supporting Profile Employment / Family / Business
Children Under 18

Travelling to Australia With a Child?

Australia requires additional documentation for applicants under 18 years of age, particularly when one or both parents are not travelling with the child.
