Planning your Aussie adventure? Whether you’re heading down under for a backpacking trip, a working holiday, or just a quick visit, you’ll need a visa to enter Australia. The good news? It’s all done online and pretty straightforward.
Yes, You Need a Visa
All non-Australian citizens need a visa or travel authorisation before arriving. This applies even for short trips and holiday visits.
Tourist Visa (Subclass 600)
Great for travellers who want to explore Australia for up to 3, 6, or 12 months. You’ll need to apply online and may be asked for proof of funds and onward travel.
eVisitor (Subclass 651)
Available for passport holders from many European countries. It's free and allows you to stay for up to 3 months at a time within a 12-month period.
ETA (Electronic Travel Authority – Subclass 601)
For passport holders from the USA, Canada, and a few others. You can apply via the official Australian ETA app and stay up to 3 months per visit.
Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417 or 462)
Planning to travel and work in Australia? If you’re between 18 and 30 (or 35 for some nationalities), this visa lets you stay for up to a year — with the option to extend if you meet requirements.
