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.

Yes, you can travel to New Zealand with an Australian tourist visa. The process is relatively simple and straightforward, and there are a number of ways to do it. The most important thing to remember is that you need to have a valid passport and a return ticket. Other than that, the main requirements are that you have enough money to support yourself while you’re in New Zealand, and that you have travel insurance.
Yes, you can travel to New Zealand on an Australian tourist visa.
Is visa for Australia and New Zealand the same?
The Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement is an agreement between Australia and New Zealand that allows New Zealand citizens to enter Australia without applying for a visa. This arrangement makes it easy for New Zealanders to travel to Australia and vice versa.
Yes, you can travel from New Zealand to Australia if you have been in the country for 14 days or more. To do so, you will need to have been in New Zealand for the past 14 days and have no symptoms of COVID-19. You will also need to provide proof of your travel history and contact information to the Australian authorities upon arrival.
Can I visit NZ from Australia
Most Australian citizens don’t need a visa to enter New Zealand unless they have a criminal record or have been deported from any country. Australian permanent residents need to apply online for a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) to enter New Zealand. Australian citizens are exempt from this rule.
The New Zealand Tourist visa is a great option for Indian citizens that want to visit the country for leisure purposes. With this visa, you will be able to visit friends and family, travel around New Zealand, and participate in some adventure activities. Additionally, you may be able to catch some of New Zealand’s well-known Rugby matches.
Can I travel to Australia from NZ without visa?
New Zealand citizens with a valid New Zealand passport do not need to apply for a visa before coming to Australia. This means that they can enter Australia for up to three months without a visa. However, if they want to stay for longer than three months, they will need to apply for a visa.
You must have a valid US passport and a visa or approved Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) to enter Australia. Most US passport holders traveling to Australia for tourism or business purposes for less than 90 days can obtain an ETA.
Is New Zealand visa easy to get?
Unlike a number of countries, New Zealand does not have extremely strict visa regulations. This means that the process of applying for a visa is generally simpler and quicker than in other countries. New Zealand also provides a visa to genuine applicants, which makes it an attractive destination for many people.
Please note that most NZeTA requests are processed within 72 hours. However, some requests may take longer to process. If your request falls into this category, please be patient and wait for a response from the NZeTA team. Thank you for your understanding.
How long does Aus visitor visa take
It is important to note that the processing time for an Australian tourist visa can vary depending on the applicant’s individual circumstances. Generally, however, it takes around 20 days to receive a decision on the visa application from the date of lodgement. There can be delays in processing, however, if additional documentation is required from the applicant.
New Zealand will not require a pre-departure test for entry starting June 2022, though most travelers will need to be vaccinated and take two rapid antigen tests (RATs) after arrival. If you transit through New Zealand, you will not need to be vaccinated or complete the New Zealand Traveler Declaration.
How to apply for New Zealand tourist visa?
If you’re planning on visiting New Zealand, you will need to apply for a visitor visa. The process is relatively simple and straightforward, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
First, you need to decide how you want to apply for your visa. You can either do it online or through a paper application. If you choose to apply online, you’ll need to create an account on the Immigration NZ website.
Next, you need to gather all the required documents for your application. This includes things like your passport, proof of identity, and proof of financial stability.
Once you have all the required documents, you can begin filling out your application. You’ll need to provide information about yourself, your travel plans, and your criminal history.
Once your application is complete, you’ll need to pay the application fee and submit your application. If everything is in order, you should receive your visa within a few weeks.
You must have enough money to support your trip while in New Zealand. You must have at least NZ $1000 per month. If an NZ resident/citizen is sponsoring your trip, you still need to show a money minimum of NZ $400 per month in your account.
Which visa do I need for New Zealand
If you come to New Zealand on holiday, you’ll need to get either an NZeTA or a visitor visa. If you’re an Australian citizen, you don’t need a visa.
All other visitors to New Zealand must have a valid visa to enter the country. The type of visa you will need depends on the purpose of your visit, how long you intend to stay, and whether you intend to work or study while you are in New Zealand.
The most common types of visas for visitors to New Zealand are the following:
Visitor visa: For tourism, visiting friends and family, or other short-term non-work purposes. Work visa: For people coming to New Zealand to work, including seasonal workers and working holidaymakers. Student visa: For people coming to New Zealand to study at a recognised education institution.
There are also a number of other visa types for specific purposes, such as for refugees and partners of New Zealand citizens and residents.
You can apply for a visa online or at a New Zealand embassy or consulate.
Can I travel to New Zealand as a visitor?
If you are not a New Zealand or Australian citizen, you may need to apply for a visa or a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) to enter New Zealand. If you do not have a visa, you must have a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA).
The visa can be granted for up to 10 years, and you can stay up to 3 months each time you enter. Visa processing times are based on the age of applications finalised in a given period. Many applications finalised recently had been on-hand for some months while borders were closed.

How and When to Get a Visa to Visit Australia
Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .
US citizens can travel to many countries visa-free, but Australia isn't one of them. If you're thinking about traveling to Australia, you'll need to plan ahead and obtain valid travel documentation. Here's what you need to know before traveling to Australia as a US citizen with a US passport.
What Visa Do I Need?
The Australian government makes it easy to determine the visa you need with its Visa Finder website . This website asks three questions, the first of which is about the purpose of your trip (think: vacation, visiting relations, attending an event, doing business and seeking medical treatment, among others):
The next question asks the country of your passport:
And the final question asks how long you'd like to stay in Australia — either less than or more than three months.
Most travelers from the US will likely be eligible for an Electronic Travel Authority (Subclass 601) — also called an ETA — as I was for my most recent month-long trip.
This is because an ETA is available to US citizens visiting Australia for three months for reasons that fit into the following categories:
- Holiday or vacation
- Visit to see friends or family
- Select business activities such as general business or employment inquiries; investigate, negotiate, sign or review a business contract; or attend a conference, trade fair or seminar
Since most US citizens traveling to Australia will be traveling for one of these reasons (and, as a result, are eligible to apply for an ETA) I'll focus on ETAs available to US citizens with a US passport.
What Are the Requirements?
To apply for an ETA, you must:
- Have a valid passport from an eligible country (including the US).
- Apply while outside Australia.
- Wish to stay no longer than three months at a time (you must not study for more than three months, for example).
- Be free from tuberculosis.
- Not have any criminal convictions for which you have been sentenced for a total combined period of 12 months or more, whether or not you served the sentence(s).
- Have paid back any debt — of either yourself or your family — or arranged to pay back any debt to the Australian government.
How Much Does It Cost to Apply Online?
The ETA is free, but there is an online application service charge of 20 Australian dollars (about $14) per applicant. As US passport holders -- along with seven other nationalities -- must apply online, there's no escaping the online application service charge. The fees for my recent ETA applications coded as "Bills and Utilities" on my Chase Sapphire Reserve statement, so don't expect the fee to code as "Travel."
How Long Does It Take?
The Australian government says "processing time for this visa is not available" and that the visa may take longer to process if:
- You don't fill it out correctly
- It takes the Australian government additional time to verify your information
Most ETA applications are approved immediately, and those that need additional processing are usually handled within 24 hours. This being said, the Australian government recommends travelers get an approved ETA before booking any nonrefundable travel. Once an ETA is granted, it is valid for one year and allows multiple entries up to three months each.
How Do I Apply?
The online ETA application takes about five minutes to complete. To start an application, click "Apply for an ETA."
Step 1 : Select whether you need a Tourist ETA or a Business Visitor ETA, and certify that you are currently located outside Australia.
Step 2 : Enter your personal details, whether you have an alias, answer a question about your criminal record and enter your passport information.
Step 3 : Enter your address, phone number and email. Select whether you wish to receive communications by SMS and declare whether you hold any passports issued by other countries.
Step 4 : Confirm your information.
Step 5 : Pay the online service charge of 20 Australian dollars (about $14) using a credit card.
How Do I Check My Status?
Once you have submitted an online ETA application, you'll receive a response. The response may:
- Notify you that your ETA has been granted.
- Advise you that your application has been referred for further assessment. You can then check the status of your application after 12 hours by logging back into the ETA system and selecting the option "Check an ETA."
- Advise you to contact the nearest Australian visa office to make a new application.
My response came immediately in an email titled, "ETA Application for Australia [CLIENT-IN-CONFIDENCE] (PROD)" that confirmed my application had "been successful," my payment had been received, that I was now the proud holder of a "valid ETA for Australia" and that my ETA had been linked to my passport, so no additional documents would be required during the travel process.
What Do I Need to Print Before Travel?
Nothing. When your ETA is linked to your passport, it becomes available to both airline representatives as well as Australian immigration authorities. So, there's no need to print your confirmation once your ETA has been granted.
Other Questions
If you have other questions about ETAs, or other types of Australian visas, take a look at the Australian government's Visa Finder website . Questions such as how to combine multiple visa types if the purpose of your trip changes and what to do if you get a new passport are covered on the website.

What you can bring into New Zealand

These include food, plants, animal products and outdoor recreational equipment.
Your baggage may be sniffed by a detector dog and/or x-rayed, and it may be searched to identify any risk goods you might be carrying.
To avoid penalties it is best to familiarise yourself with these guidelines prior to travel. For a detailed list of prohibited, restricted or declarable items, please visit Ministry for Primary Industries (opens in new window) (biosecurity agency).

Australia's new pacific engagement visa registration opens on 3 june.
Photo: 123RF
Up to 3000 Pacific Island and Timor-Leste nationals will be able to register for Australia's new Pacific Engagement Visa program from 3 June, the Australian government has announced.
It will use an online ballot to select participants, who can then apply for the visa to migrate to Australia as permanent residents each year.
Applicants must secure a formal ongoing job offer in Australia and meet health and character requirements before being granted a visa.
Countries participating in the first year of the programme include Federated States of Micronesia (50), Fiji (300), Nauru (100), Palau (50), Papua New Guinea (1350), Solomon Islands (150), Timor-Leste (300), Tonga (150), Tuvalu (100), Vanuatu (150), with discussions ongoing with other partners in the region.
"The Albanese government is delivering on our commitment to deepen our connections with the Pacific and Timor-Leste with the Pacific Engagement Visa," Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator the Hon Penny Wong said.
"Australia has listened to the calls of Pacific leaders and responded, as we play our part for a peaceful, stable and prosperous Pacific."
Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Pat Conroy said the programme "demonstrates the high value Australia places on its relationship with the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
He said it will grow Pacific and Timor-Leste diasporas in Australia, "strengthening linkages between our people and encouraging greater cultural, business, economic and educational exchange with Pacific countries".
Conroy added the program has "transformative potential", making Australia's world-class education and training system more accessible for new residents under the Pacific Engagement Visa.
"Through these impacts, and by boosting remittance flows to Pacific countries, the program will also support economic development and welfare in the Pacific."
Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, Andrew Giles, said the new visa program is an opportunity to address the under-representation of Pacific island and Timorese nationals in Australia's permanent migration program, with less than one percent of permanent migrants currently coming from the region.
"The program is in keeping with the Government's Migration Strategy which identifies deepening Australia's people-to-people links with the Indo-Pacific as one of eight key actions to reform the migration system," he said.
