 Snoop Dogg
The department had earlier expressed concern about Snoop Dogg's criminal record but took into account the fact that he had traveled to Australia three times without incident.
It said the rapper, whose birth name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., has committed to doing charity work with at-risk youth during his visit to Australia.
Snoop Dogg visited Australia in 1998, 2006 and early 2007 without incident.
He withdrew a visa application last May after failing to pass the character requirements one month after pleading no contest to gun and drug charges in the US.
The West Coast Originals Australian Tour - which will also feature Ice Cube and Bones Thugs-N-Harmony - will begin in Brisbane on October 29. Tickets go onsale September 17.
Snoop Dogg will play:
Brisbane Entertainment Centre (October 29)
Sydney Acer Arena (31)
Melbourne Rod Laver Arena (November 2)
Adelaide Entertainment Centre (5)
Perth Burswood Dome (7)
