Australia Tourist Visa

Australia is a wonderful place to vacation. Whether you are travelling simply for pleasure or to do a little business, you'll enjoy Australia's beautiful landscapes and fun culture.

Depending on your citizenship, you may need a visa to visit Australia. Your citizenship, the reason for your visit and the length of your stay will determine what type of visa you will need. The following are Australian visitor visas:

  • ETA Visitor. A three-month visa for people of designated countries.
  • eVisitors. A three-month tourist or business visa for Europeans.
  • Tourist Visa. A 12-month tourist visa.
  • Family Visitor Visa. A 12-month visa for people visiting Australian family.

ETA Visitor

This three-month Australian tourist visa is titled the ETA (Visitor) (Subclass 976) visa. ETA stands for the Electronic Travel Authority which is an online system that manages these short-term visitor visas. These visas are relatively simple to acquire, there is no visa stamp or label to be placed in a passport nor any application forms. Most ETA visas are granted automatically in an online process through the ETA.

European Visitors

European tourists visiting Australia should apply for either a Tourist Visa (Subclass 676) or Temporary Business Long Stay Visa (Subclass 457). Both of these visas fall under the eVisitor category.

  • Andorra
