Can Finnish citizens work in Australia with an e-visa?

For citizens of Finland who intend to visit Australia for business or employment purposes, applicants who hold an e-visa have certain options available to them.

With an eVisitor visa, which is specifically designed for citizens of eligible European countries including Finland, the primary purpose of the visa is for tourism or business-related activities. This means that the eVisitor visa does not grant Finnish citizens the automatic right to work in Australia. Apply for a tourist eVisa for Australia here!

However, there are alternative visa options for Finnish citizens who wish to work in Australia. One such option is the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) or the Work and Holiday visa (subclass 462). These visas are specifically designed to enable young people from eligible countries, including Finland, to have an extended holiday in Australia while also being able to work to support themselves financially. These visas have specific age limits and other eligibility criteria, so it's important to consult with the official Australian immigration website.

If your intention is to work in Australia for an extended period or in a specific occupation, you may need to explore other visa options such as employer-sponsored visas or skilled migration visas. These types of visas typically have specific requirements and are subject to a separate application process. Contact the nearest Australian embassy for appropriate working permits.
