An ETA or Electronic Travel Authority and is a 'paperless' authority for travel to Australia. It replaces the visa label or stamp in your passport. An ETA removes the need for application forms and enables passengers to be processed more quickly on arrival in Australia.

You will need to apply for your Australia ETA Visa at your nearest Australian Embassy or Consulate.

The processing fees for 3-Month Tourist Visas for Oz (including all embassy fees) are: €45/£30/CA$65.

Your Visitor ETA Visa is a short-term visa which will only allow you to stay in Australia for a maximum duration of three months, but it is valid for one year from your date of application, or until your passport expiry date - whichever is sooner.

On an E-Visitor Permit you can stay in Australia for up to three months on each visit within a 12 month period from the date of issue.

This Australia Visa is only valid for tourism or visiting friends/relatives in Australia. It does not entitle you to work in Australia.

When you apply for an Oz Holiday ETA Visa or E-Visitor Visa you can either pay by Visa, Mastercard, cheque or cash by phone, fax or by post.

No, please DO NOT send your passport! Completing your ETA application accurately and making the correct payment is all that's required. Visa First cannot be responsible for the loss of your passport if you send it.

Provided you qualify, your ETA visitor application will be approved usually within moments from the time we process your application. Most applications are processed within 24 hours of receiving your data during business hours from Monday to Saturday. Applications received after office hours or on Sundays are processed the next working day.

E-Visitor Visas cannot be processed automatically so the processing time is usually 2-10 working days.

As soon as your application has been approved we will email you. Provided you are flying on an 'approved' airline, your visa details will automatically be logged into the airline's computer prior to boarding. Your 'paperless' tourist ETA visa will automatically allow you entry into Australia upon arrival.

All ETA Visa and E-Visitor Visa applications are subject to the approval of the Australian Immigration Authorities, and this approval is based on accurate information provided by the applicant. In the unlikely event your application is rejected, regretfully Visa First cannot refund your application fee. It is therefore advisable that you do not finalise your airline booking or travel arrangements to Australia until your Oz Visa is approved.
