Do I need an ETA/eVisitor to go to Australia?

Whether you need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or an eVisitor visa to travel to Australia depends primarily on your nationality. These electronic travel authorizations allow eligible travelers to visit Australia for tourism or certain business activities without applying for a traditional visitor visa.

Who can apply for an ETA or eVisitor?

Australia offers different electronic travel options for citizens of eligible countries:

ETA (Electronic Travel Authority): Available to passport holders from selected countries and regions.
eVisitor visa: Available to eligible passport holders from many European countries.

If your country is not eligible for either option, you will generally need to apply for another type of Australian visa, such as a Visitor Visa (Subclass 600).

Apply through an authorized travel agent or airline
