Are children required to apply for Australia Online ETA/eVisitor?

Yes. Every child traveling to Australia must hold their own valid visa, including an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or eVisitor if they are eligible. This requirement applies regardless of the child's age; even infants and newborns need their own travel authorization before entering Australia.

Does every child need a separate application?

Yes. Australia does not allow children to be included under a parent's ETA or eVisitor application. Each child must submit an individual ETA or eVisitor application that is linked to their own passport. This applies even if the child is listed on a parent or guardian's passport, where applicable.

What does a child need to apply?

Before applying, make sure your child has:

A valid individual passport
Eligibility for the ETA (Subclass 601) or eVisitor (Subclass 651), based on their nationality
Accurate personal and passport details

Each application is assessed separately, and the approved visa is electronically linked to the child's passport. Family members cannot be included in a single ETA application.

Are there any additional requirements?

In some situations, Australian immigration authorities may request extra documentation, particularly if a child is traveling with only one parent, another relative, or an accompanying adult. Parents or guardians should ensure they have any necessary consent or supporting documents before departure if applicable.

Plan ahead for family travel

If you're traveling with children, it's important to apply for each child's Australia Online ETA or eVisitor well before your departure date. Double-check that every family member has a valid passport and the correct travel authorization linked to it to avoid delays when boarding or entering Australia.

For the latest visa eligibility requirements, application guidance, and travel updates, consult Australia Visa Services before your trip. Preparing each child's travel documents in advance will help ensure a smooth, stress-free arrival in Australia.
