Migration Services How it works
Australia plays host to several million visitors a year. Whether you are a tourist wanting to explore the colours of the outback and the excitement of the cities, or a professional wishing to do business, you will need a valid visa to enter and spend time in Australia.
A valid visitor visa to Australia is required to visit Australia for a holiday, to see family and friends or to conduct a short business trip. There are a number of different visitor visa types, depending on the purpose of your visit and how long you need to stay.
Travellers from ETA eligible countries can apply online for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). Alternatively, you can purchase our Short Term Visa Application Guide which will provide you with all of the necessary forms and guidelines to help you self manage your short travel visa application.
There were more than 5.5 million overseas visitor arrivals to Australia last year.
Australia's Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) system is the most advanced and streamlined in the world. It is the replacement for a visa label or a stamp in your passport, although stamps are still used where the ETA is not yet available.
