Do I need a visa when transiting in Australia?

Whether you need a visa when transiting through Australia largely depends on various factors including your nationality, the duration of your layover, and your final destination. Australia has specific visa regulations for transit passengers. If you're staying in the country for less than 72 hours and do not leave the airport, you may be eligible for the Transit visa (subclass 771) or the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) facility.

Passengers from certain countries may qualify for the TWOV program, allowing them to transit without a visa if they meet specific conditions and only stay in the Australian airport within 72 hours. However, passengers must hold a confirmed onward ticket and remain in the transit area which means travelers do not leave the airport for 72 hours.

For longer layovers or if you plan to exit the airport during transit, you'll likely need an appropriate visa based on your circumstances. It's crucial to check for more information on Australia Immigration Services or consult with our experts before your journey to ensure compliance with the e-Visa requirements. Additionally, visa regulations are subject to change, so it's advisable to verify the current requirements closer to your travel date to avoid any unexpected issues during transit.
