Do I need a visa to enter Australia?
Visiting Australia is subject to entry requirements that depend on your nationality. 33 nationalities are required to present an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) instead of a traditional visa on arrival in Australia, for any tourist stay, business trip or visit to acquaintances lasting 90 days or less. These nationalities are: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States and Vatican City.
Known as the "eVisitor", this electronic travel authorization, or "ETA", is a pass rather than a simple visa. It authorizes various entries to Australia during its period of validity. It does, however, require a passport valid for at least 6 months after the date of arrival in Australia, with at least 2 blank pages.
