Frequently Asked Questions
The eVisitor (subclass 651) and the Australian Travel Declaration (ETA alternative) are both electronic travel permits for Australia. The eVisitor is available for citizens of 20 eligible countries and is linked to your passport. It's valid for 12 months with multiple entries allowed for stays up to 3 months each.
No, the eVisitor does not permit paid work in Australia. It's designed for tourism, business visits, and visiting family. If you need to work, you'll need to apply for a work visa instead.
Most eVisitor applications are processed within 24 hours. However, some applications may take up to 48 hours to process. We recommend applying well in advance of your travel date to ensure timely approval.
If you're transiting through an Australian airport and not leaving the international terminal, you may not need a visa. However, if you're leaving the terminal or staying overnight, an eVisitor is required. Contact your airline for clarification on your specific route.
Health insurance is not a requirement for the eVisitor itself, but it's highly recommended. Australia doesn't have reciprocal healthcare agreements with most countries, and medical costs can be substantial. We advise obtaining travel health insurance before your trip.
