Australia eVisitor (subclass 651)
The eVisitor is free for British citizens and passport holders from many European countries. It is valid for 12 months and allows stays of up to 3 months on each visit, for tourism, visiting family or business visitor activities.
Australia ETA
The Electronic Travel Authority (subclass 601) is applied for through the official app and covers the same purposes. The eVisitor is free while the ETA has a small service charge, so we'll help you choose the right one. UK residents on other passports may need a Visitor visa (subclass 600) instead.

Before you travel to Australia
Check the UK government’s travel advice for Australia before you book, and again shortly before you go. It covers safety, local laws, health risks and the latest entry rules.
- Passport: most countries expect it to be valid for at least six months after you arrive, with blank pages for stamps. If yours is close to expiry, renew it first.
- Health: check the NHS fitfortravel website for Australia at least eight weeks before you travel, in case you need vaccinations or malaria tablets. Some countries ask for a yellow fever certificate if you’ve recently been somewhere with yellow fever.
- Insurance: take out travel insurance that covers medical treatment and getting you home, and check it’s valid for Australia.
- Bookings: carry copies of your return ticket and accommodation, as border officers can ask to see them.
We go through the entry requirements for your passport when we prepare your application, so you know exactly what to carry.
