VISA REQUIREMENTS
Australia is one of the world’s most visited places, with almost 450,000 internationals arriving every month. To visit Australia you need a valid visa unless you are a citizen of New Zealand or Australia.
You can apply for your ETA visa if you hold a valid passport from any of the 30 eligible countries.
