 Visa
Information
All travellers to Australia, other
than Australian and New Zealand citizens, are legally
required to hold a valid visa to travel to Australia.
Australia's Electronic Travel Authority
(ETA) system is the world's most advanced and streamlined
travel authorisation system. A recent innovative enhancement
to ETA arrangements allows a traveller to apply for
an ETA over the Internet.
The ETA is an electronically-stored authority for travel
to Australia for a short-term tourist or business entry.
It replaces the visa label or stamp in a passport and
removes the need for application forms. ETAs are issued
within seconds of being requested through computer links
between the department, travel agents, airlines and
specialist service providers around the world.
Getting your visa when booking tickets -- via ETA
You can only apply for an ETA while you are outside
of Australia. You also must hold an ETA-eligible passport.
These are: Andorra Austria Belgium Brunei Canada Denmark
Finland France Germany Greece Hong Kong Iceland Ireland
Italy Japan Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malaysia Malta
Monaco The Netherlands Norway Portugal San Marino, Republic
of Singapore South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Taiwan*
UK - British Citizen USA Vatican City
If you do not hold a passport approved for ETA, you
will need to apply for a 'label' visa from Australian
diplomatic offices overseas such as Australian Embassies,
High Commission offices or Consulates. To make a valid
application for a visa for Australia, you must: indicate
the type or class of visa which you want, use the correct
form, pay the required charge, provide the correct documentation
in support of your application, satisfy other requirements
for that visa, and send or deliver your application
to an Australian diplomatic office overseas.
You must also: complete the form in English, answer
all questions truthfully - if you provide incorrect
information or documents, your visa may later be cancelled,
and provide certified copies of all documents. Please
do not provide originals unless requested by the Department.
