How do I find the right visa to travel to Australia?
Explore visas on the Department of Home Affairs website for Australian visa options that might suit your needs.
Can I apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) subclass 601?
There are specified passports that are eligible to apply for an ETA . Individuals who hold a non-citizen passport, certificate of identity or other travel document cannot apply for an ETA.
I tried to apply for an ETA and received a message saying that the application cannot be assessed. What do I do now?
This means that the application is one of a small number of applications that cannot be approved over the internet due to checks required by the Australian Government. Do not submit the application again. If you do, the result will be the same and your credit card will be charged again.
If you have had any criminal convictions in any country, you should obtain police checks and other relevant character documents then apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) , rather than an ETA to be assessed against the character requirements . If you arrive on an ETA with criminal convictions, you could be refused entry to Australia. Additionally, if you do not meet the health requirements you should apply for a Visitor visa (subclass 600) , rather than an ETA. To start an online application you will need to create an ImmiAccount or login to your existing account.
If you do not have any health or character concerns and were unsuccessful in obtaining an ETA online (including passport holders from Taiwan) please contact the Global Service Centre at +61 2 6196 0196 to progress your application. You will need to provide your ETA reference number and passport details.
How long will my application take to process?
Global visa processing times for all visa and citizenship applications are posted on the Department of Home Affairs website and updated monthly, providing an indicative timeframe for processing applications. Processing times are impacted each month by changes in application volumes, seasonal peaks, complex cases, and incomplete applications.
How can I check the status of my application or visa?
Log into your ImmiAccount to check the progress of an online application. You can also import a paper application into ImmiAccount to view the progress.
Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) is a free online service that gives visa holders, employers and other registered organisations access to visa entitlements and status information 24 hours a day.
Can I get my visa application expedited?
The department does not offer an expedited service. All visa applications are assessed based on their individual merits and against set legal requirements. It is important that you submit a complete application to avoid any delays with the application.
We strongly recommend that you should not book flights or make travel commitments until you have a visa to travel to Australia. The department will not be liable for any financial loss incurred by applicants whose visa application was finalised later than expected or where an application is unsuccessful. If applicants travel to the airport without a visa to enter Australia they do so at their own risk and expense.
Please note that the embassy is unable to answer visa and citizenship enquiries.
What travel is allowed on an APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) visa?
A Visitor (Business) subclass 600 visa granted in relation to an ABTC allows travel for short-stay business purposes as well as short non-business travel, such as to have a holiday or visit family and friends. Please see the Department of Home Affairs website for further information on ABTC travel

- travel information
All visitors, except New Zealand nationals, require a visa before arriving in Australia. The purpose of your visit and in some cases your nationality will determine which visa you require. Check the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website before you arrive in Australia to check which visa you require and be aware that some visas can take a while to process. Your visa is linked to the passport number in your visa application, so you must use the same passport to travel to Australia.
Tourist Visas
The Australian Visitor visa (Subclass 600) is for people travelling to Australia as a tourist, as a business visitor or to visit family. It is a temporary visa, for stays of 3 – 12 months.
The Visitor visa has five streams: Tourist Stream, Sponsored Family Stream, Business Visitor Stream, Approved Destination Status Stream and Frequent Traveller Stream. The estimated time required to process this visa depends on which visa stream you apply for. More details can be found here .
Travellers holding a Visitor visa cannot work while they are in Australia, and Visitor visas cannot be used to establish ongoing residence in Australia.
For multiple entries into Australia over 12 months with stays of up to three months, convenient visa options are an Electronic Travel Authority ( subclass 601 ) or eVisitor ( subclass 651 ). Only certain passport holders are eligible for these visas. Check your eligibility at the Department of Immigration’s website.
Student Visas
If you wish to study in Australia, there are three visa options. A Student visa ( Subclass 500 ) allows you to study in Australia for up to five years on a full-time course, which must be registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) .
A Training visa ( Subclass 407 ) allows you to take part in workplace-based occupational training activities or in a professional development training program in Australia. A Student Guardian visa ( Subclass 590 ) allows a person to provide care and support for a student visa holder who is under 18. Find out more about student visas here .
Working Holiday Visas
For young people who want to holiday and work in Australia, there are two visas: the Working Holiday (subclass 417 ) and the Work and Holiday ( subclass 462 ). The Department of Immigration’s website has more information on these visas. You can also find information on the Work Study Play pages .
Visitors from the People’s Republic of China
For visitors from the People’s Republic of China who are travelling in an organised tour group, the Approved Destination Status Stream visa (subclass 600) application is lodged by your registered ADS travel agent. Valid Chinese ePassport holders are eligible to use the SmartGate self-service at international airports when entering Australia.
Information for Chinese citizens on applying for an Australian visa is available here .
