Australia e-Visa For Italian Citizens - Fees & Services

Yes. Italian passport holders must get visas in order to enter Australia. This is because Italy is not one of the nations to which Australia has visa-free access. Italians, on the other hand, can save a lot of time by applying for a visa online if their country of origin qualifies for an Australian ETA.

Also, you may apply for a variety of Australian visas, such as tourist and business visas, at your local Australian Embassy or Consulate. Through the Australian Department of Home Affairs website, you may also apply for many types of visas. This procedure, however, will take a long time, and you will not be able to predict how long it will take to apply for a visa.

Yes, Australia eVisa holders are generally allowed to work in Australia. However, the specific work rights and conditions depend on the type of eVisa they hold. The two most common types of eVisas for work purposes in Australia are the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) and the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). 

• Working Holiday visa (subclass 417): This visa is available to young people from eligible countries and allows them to work and holiday in Australia for up to 12 months. Holders of this visa can work for any employer in Australia, but there are limitations on the duration of employment with a single employer. In general, working holiday visa holders can work for the same employer for up to 6 months.
• Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462): This visa is also available to young people from eligible countries and allows them to work and holiday in Australia. Like the Working Holiday visa, it has a validity period of up to 12 months. Work and Holiday visa holders can work for any employer in Australia, but similar to the Working Holiday visa, there are restrictions on the duration of employment with a single employer. The specific restrictions may vary depending on the country of the passport.

It's important to note that while eVisa holders are generally allowed to work, there may be limitations and conditions that apply. For long-term work, it's recommended to check the official Australian government or consult with our professionals at the Australia Immigration Services for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding work rights for specific visa types.

Australia's government has implemented an e-visa program for over 30 countries since 2010. This approach accelerates the visa procedure and applicants' efforts. Italian nationals can also visit Australia multiple times for a limited time during the one-year validity period of their e-visa.
