If you are
not an Australian or New Zealand passport holder then
you will require a visa to enter Australia. Arriving
at the airport without an appropriate visa will mean
that you will not be permitted to travel until one has
been issued. In addition your visa must cover the entire
duration of your visit.
There are many types of Australian visas available.
The visa which you apply for will depend on your length
of stay and purpose of visit. Each visa has different
criteria that must be met before it can be granted.
Australia
Tourist / Business Visa

most commonly applied for are the ETA visas (Electronic
