FAQ About Australia eVisitor Visa

Australia ETA Online

The Australia ETA is an Electronic Travel Authorization that allows international travelers to visit the country. It’s issued for short-term stays for tourism and business purposes. You can also study short courses or take part in training.

The ETA allows multiple entries to Australia during its 12-month validity. You’re allowed to stay for a maximum of 3 months per visit.

To get your ETA, you must apply online before you travel. You’ll be required to provide personal details and passport information.

The ETA does not allow you to work, or to stay for longer than 3 months in Australia. For these travel purposes, apply for a visa at your closest embassy or consulate.

Entry Requirements Australia with the ETA

The necessary Australia ETA visa documents are:

  • passport-validity
    Valid passport issued by an eligible country
  • debot-or-credit-catd
    Valid credit or debit card to pay the ETA Australia fee
  • current-email-address
    Current email address

Once approved, your ETA is automatically linked to your passport.

FAQ About ETA for Australia

Check the Visa Policy for Australia

The visa policy of Australia determines which visa or travel authorization a foreign national needs to visit the country. The requirements for each individual depend on a number of factors, including nationality, length of stay, and purpose of travel.

Electronic visas and travel authorizations — known as the eVisitor visa and ETA — are available for holders of over 40 different passports for stays of short periods for tourism or business.

The application process is 100% online. It’s the quickest and easiest way to get permission to enter Australia.

If your nationality is not eligible for an online visa or travel authorization, you must request a visa from an Australian embassy or consulate.

This also applies to citizens of any country who wish to live or work in Australia, or those who want to study or visit for more than 3 months.

Australian visa policy dictates that almost all visitors must apply for a visa in advance of their journey to the country. The only exceptions are citizens of New Zealand, who enjoy the right of abode and receive a Special Category Visa on arrival in Australia.

Australian immigration policy is generally consistent throughout the different states and territories that make up the mainland and many islands. However, to visit certain islands which are part of Australia or the Australian Antarctic Territory, special authorization is required from the government.
