Visa Requirements for Australia
The 2 authorizations have the same characteristics, and you just have to process an e-Visa application, as the government authorities will send you the one that is relevant to your situation. The documentation required to process your e-Visa is:
- A passport number
- An email address to receive your visa
- A bank card to make payment
If any of these elements are missing, your application will be saved so that you can complete it later.
Depending on your nationality, you will receive either an ETA visa or an eVisitor visa. Both visas or travel authorisations are the same, and we will process the correct one based on your passport.
The application process for the Australian eVisa is done online, without having to leave your home. At Visagov we will process the correct visa according to your nationality. All you have to do is fill in our simplified form to help you process it and minimise any possibility of error.
You must print out your australian visa and present it with your passport on arrival in Australia.

Visa for Australia: More information
To travel to Australia, you must apply for an e-Visa, or travel authorisation. Which you receive will depend on your nationality.
Citizens of Brunei, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States will receive an ETA. All other nationalities will receive an eVisitor.
Both are electronic visas, and both have the same characteristics. The eVisitor and the ETA are valid for 1 year, with multiple entries to the country, and with maximum continuous stays of 90 days. The 2 electronic visas allow travel to Australia for tourism and business purposes.
The only difference between the ETA and the eVisitor is their price.
The Australian immigration authorities reserve the right to admission. In the case of having a criminal record, previous problems with the country, or representing a threat to national security, your entry will be denied. You must not lie or omit relevant information about yourself when processing the visa application.
