Provided is a parking assistance apparatus configured to execute travelling assistance processing to assist a vehicle to move to a target parking position, and execute collision avoidance processing when an obstacle is detected while the travelling assistance processing is being executed, and detect the obstacle when the vehicle moves backward and travels to the target parking position while the travelling assistance processing is being executed such that it is possible to avoid a situation in which a travel route to the target parking position becomes complicated. The target travel route is acquired so as to include a backward section in which the vehicle moves backward and reaches the target parking position, and a forward section in which the vehicle moves forward and reaches the start point of the backward section. When the vehicle travels in the backward section, the distance from a specific region, which is a region where the presence or absence of an obstacle cannot be confirmed when the vehicle is tra
