Visa in Australia
Before purchasing your plane tickets, we advise you to read the information below regarding entry requirements for Australia.
Australia has strict entry procedures, including visas, as well as restrictions on goods brought in, the duration of visits, and the purpose of the trip.
What visa to enter in Australia?
There are many visas available for entering the country, but the most popular and frequently requested are:
Tourist Visa (evisitor)
This visa is THE essential visa for visiting Australia as a tourist for up to 90 days. You can also apply for this visa to participate in WWOOFing or if you wish to visit family, such as your children who live there.
It is free, and 90% of applications are approved in less than 48 hours.
You will often see it referred to as the "eVisitor visa" because it is an electronic authorization attached to your passport. It is the eVisitor (subclass 651). You must submit a separate application for each person, even if these individuals (children) are listed on your passport.
You can apply for the eVisitor Visa Subclass 651 here. Other tourist visas are available if you are not from a country eligible for this subclass 651 visa.
Working Holiday Visa (WHV)
This visa is very popular for people under 35 who wish to stay in Australia for up to 12 months. With this visa, you can also work to finance your stay, study for up to 4 months, and enter and leave Australia as many times as you like.
The cost of this visa is AUD 670, and 90% of applications are approved in less than 40 days.
Note that this visa can be extended for a second and even a third Working Holiday Visa, but there are specific conditions for renewal.
For more information, visit the official Working Holiday visa (Subclass 417) page.
Other visas are also available for working, studying, or immigrating. See the complete list of visas for Australia.
