Apply for your Australia visa online

The Australia eVisitor/ETA is available to citizens of, for example, European countries, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

The Australian electronic travel authority is required for flights (air travel) and cruises (sea travel).

The eVisitor or ETA permits visits related to tourism, leisure, family visits, and business.

The online application for Australian eVisitor/ETA with Passporta is simple and intuitive.

Before the procedure, the applicant must prepare a working device (such as a smartphone) and make sure the internet connection is stable.

1. Complete the application form online – provide personal and contact details.
2. Fill out the passport data – enter the number, expiry date, and issue date.
3. Upload the required files – make sure the passport photo is clear and legible.
4. Cover the processing fee – use a credit card or an online payment system, like PayPal.

The approved Australian ETA will be sent directly to the applicant's email address.

Printing out the ETA is unnecessary as it's linked to the passport number used in the application form. However, if the passport expires early, it will make the entry permit invalid.

The Australia eVisitor or ETA validity period is one year (12 months) from the issue date.

The duration of Australian electronic travel authority can't be extended under any circumstances – for longer visits, an Australian visa is required.

The permitted period of stay in Australia for eVisitor/ETA holders is 90 days per visit.

Australian government processes the eVisitor or ETA applications as fast as possible, sometimes with an immediate effect from submitting the form.

Making spelling errors, uploading an illegible passport scan, or previous visa policy violations may lead to delays or even a denial.

Moreover, if applying for the Australia eVisitor/ETA with Passporta, travelers must remember to leave some extra time for our experts to verify the submitted forms.

Although the online visa service aims to speed up the travel formalities, some mistakes in the form may result in a prolonged processing time.

Common mistakes applicants make during the ETA procedure include:

• Missing out some steps of the application process.
• Providing untrue or misleading information.
• Making spelling mistakes in the application form.
• Having a criminal history.

Australian authorities reserve the right to refuse the Australia eVisitor/ETA issuance.
