Australia has announced a temporary six‑month ban on Iranian passport holders entering the country for tourism or work purposes. The decision, confirmed by the Home Affairs Department on March 26, 2026, was attributed to the ongoing war situation in the Middle East. The ministry stated that the risk of short‑term visa holders overstaying their permitted period had increased due to instability in Iran. Exceptions will apply in limited cases, such as for parents of Australian citizens.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said that many visitor visas issued before the current situation in Iran might not have been approved if applied for now. He emphasized that permanent settlement in Australia should be a formal decision, not an outcome of temporary visits. Official data show that more than 85,000 Iranian‑born residents currently live in Australia, mainly in Sydney and Melbourne.
Earlier in the month, diplomatic tensions rose after Australia granted asylum to seven members of Iran’s women’s football team who refused to sing the national anthem during an Asian Cup match. Five of them later withdrew their asylum requests amid pressure on their families in Iran.
