Controversial Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has been granted an entry visa by Australian immigration officials.
Mr Wilders will now be able to travel to Perth next week for the launch of an Australian anti-Islam party.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton confirmed to reporters in Canberra on Friday he was consulted about the application and was happy to take the advice of the relevant official.
Mr Wilders tweeted on Thursday that he looked forward to the launch of the Australian Liberty Alliance, which will be held under tight security at a top secret venue on October 20.
"That won't be made public at all," ALA president Debbie Robinson told AAP.
The party initially had some difficulty in booking a venue, she said.
