Australian Visa Information

Unless you are an Australian citizen, you will need a valid Australian visa to enter the country. New Zealand passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival in the country. All other passport holders, regardless of age, must apply for a visa before leaving home. You can apply for a range of Australian visa types, including tourist visas and working holiday visas, via the ETA app or on the  Department of Home Affairs website.

There are different Australian visa types available for travellers to Australia. Knowing which Australian visa to apply for depends on the length of your stay, your passport and the purpose of your visit. You’ll also need to meet certain financial and medical requirements, be outside of Australia when applying and maintain health insurance for the duration of your stay. 

Electronic Travel Authority visa  (subclass 601) This visa allows you to visit Australia as many times as you want, for up to a year, and stay for three months each visit. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of countries and regions, who live outside Australia. A step-by-step guide on how to apply is  here .

All ETA-eligible passport holders must apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app. Agents can assist you in the application process, but you must be physically present as a live facial image is required.

eVisitor  (subclass 651) This is a free visa for multiple visits to Australia for tourism or business purposes for up to three months at a time within a 12-month period. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of European countries and it cannot be extended.

Visitor visa  (subclass 600) The Visitor visa allows you to visit Australia, either for tourism or business purposes. It is open to all nationalities. Generally, a period of stay of up to three months is granted, but up to 12 months may be granted in certain circumstances. Applicants will have to pay a fee to submit their application.

The application process may differ depending on which visa you need.

You can only apply for the  Electronic Travel Authority visa  (subclass 601) through the Australian ETA app. A step-by-step guide on how to apply is located  here .

For other visas, you can apply online by creating an ImmiAccount and completing the application process. Be sure to submit your application well in advance of your travel date to allow enough time for processing. You may be asked to provide further supporting information. You will be notified in writing if your tourist visa is approved and it will be digitally linked to your passport. For more information on different visa types, and Australian visa requirements including how to apply for an Australian visa, visit the  Department of Home Affairs  website.

If you are already in Australia and hold a valid Electronic Travel Authority visa (subclass 601) you can extend your stay by applying for another visa, such as a Visitor visa (subclass 600). An eVisitor (subclass 651) cannot be extended.

See the Department of Home Affairs website for details.

Working Holiday Visas

Australia's Working Holiday Maker program allows visitors aged under 30 (or 35 in certain cases) who hold a passport from a participating country to travel and work in Australia. Working holiday visas are valid for one year, or up to three years if you meet certain conditions.

Australia offers various types of visas for different purposes, including tourist visas, work visas, and student visas. The specific type of visa you will need depends on the purpose of your visit and the duration of your stay.

For Russian citizens planning to visit Australia for tourism or to visit family and friends, the most common visa type is the Visitor Visa (subclass 600). This visa allows you to stay in Australia for up to 3, 6, or 12 months, depending on the visa you apply for.

When applying for an Australian Visitor Visa, Russian citizens must meet certain requirements. These requirements include having a valid passport, providing proof of financial capacity to support your stay, and demonstrating genuine intentions to visit Australia for tourism or visiting family and friends.

The application process for an Australian Visitor Visa involves submitting an online application through the Department of Home Affairs website. You will need to provide the required documents, including your passport, proof of financial capacity, and a letter of invitation (if applicable).

The processing time for an Australian Visitor Visa can vary, so it is advisable to apply well in advance of your intended travel dates. The visa application fee also varies depending on the duration of your stay. It is important to check the latest fee information on the Department of Home Affairs website.

Once you have obtained your Australian Visitor Visa, you are free to travel to Australia. It is important to note that you may be asked to show evidence of your visa at the immigration checkpoint upon arrival, so keep your visa grant notification and passport handy.

The Visitor Visa does not generally permit you to work in Australia. If you wish to work during your stay, you will need to explore other visa options, such as the Working Holiday Visa or the Skilled Visa, depending on your qualifications and eligibility.

If you wish to extend your stay in Australia beyond the duration of your Visitor Visa, you will need to apply for another visa. The Department of Home Affairs provides information on different visa options for extending your stay, such as the Visitor Visa extension or other appropriate visa types.

Traveling to Australia as a Russian citizen is an exciting opportunity. By understanding the visa requirements and regulations, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Visa to Russia from Australia

This type of  invitation to visit Russia for Australians  can be made by a travel company that is officially registered with the Register of Russian tour operators and has its own reference number.  

Read more:  Russian Tourist Visa

Such invitations are issued by tour companies on their own letterheads as the outward appearance of the invitation required to obtain a tourist visa is not fixed by law. The invitation usually consists of a voucher and a confirmation on receiving a tourist. There should be indicated the name of a tourist company, its reference-number, passport information of the tourist, the itinerary of the trip and the hotels he/she will stay at, dates of the arrival and departure, multiplicity of the visa itself.

It should be noted that the existence of a tourist invitation cannot guarantee the obtaining of a Russian visa. When checking the documents given in to obtain a tourist visa a citizen of Australia will be inspected on having any deportations from the Russian Federation during his/her previous visits, as well as any criminal records for having broken the laws of the Russian Federation or any unpaid fines for the administrative violations.

One can be asked at the consulate to submit the airplane tickets, a medical insurance and confirmation of a hotel booking. The payment of the consular fee is necessary (notwithstanding whether the visa will be obtained or not).

Usually Australian citizens obtain tourist visas to Russia easily. A visa can be obtained for a period of up to 30 days. It can have either one or two entries.

A private invitation can be issued by a citizen of Russia or a legal entity. In order to do this it is necessary to apply at the local department of the Federal Migration Service (the FMS) at the place of residence for an individual or at the place of registration for a legal entity.

The department of the FMS issues a private invitation after receiving an application with appended information for the person invited, a copy of his/her passport, the information on the inviting party, the duration of stay in Russia, multiplicity of a visa. The issuing period for the invitation to obtain a single visa is 12 working days and 17 days for a double entry visa. During this time a citizen of Australia will be checked on having any unpaid fines or deportations in the past. The department of the FMS may refuse to issue a private invitation with indicating a reason for this in writing. In case everything is fine, an inviting party obtains a private invitation on a state standard form and sends it to Australia by the express-mail.

After obtaining an invitation a private visa is issued for a period of 90 days. It may be single or double entry.

The  business visa invitation letter  can be obtained by either of these ways:

• Russian Business Invitation Letter from organization   (possible to get Online) ;

• Telex Russian Invitation ;

Invitation as a letter is in fact a request to the Russian consular body to give a visa to a certain citizen of Australia. Not all legal entities can issue invitations but only those companies which were duly accredited for this. It usually takes only 1 day to issue this invitation. When issuing it the law abidance of a foreign citizen would not be checked. That is why afterwards he/she can be denied in a visa at the embassy or a consulate of the RF, if it is turned up that there were any criminal records during his/her previous visits.

On a special FMS form (a state standard form) an invitation is issued when an inviting party has applied for it with an appropriate application. In this case a citizen of Australia is checked on having any criminal records during his/her previous visits to the RF. This type of a business invitation has to be waited for 12-17 working days.

If a letter of invitation or an invitation on a special state standard form should be sent to Australia by express-mail, an invitation by telex is just a number which is given to a foreigner by the inviting party. This invitation is a direction from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the RF to the embassy of the RF to give a visa to a certain citizen.
