Most travelers to Australia must have a valid passport. Here is a general guide:
Australia does not offer visa-free entry. All travelers, except New Zealand citizens, need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) to enter Australia.
Citizens of eligible countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and several European countries, can apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or eVisitor visa online for short stays (up to 3 months) for tourism or business purposes. The ETA is linked to the traveler's passport and is valid for multiple entries within 12 months.
Citizens of countries that are not eligible for an ETA or eVisitor must apply for a visa before traveling to Australia. A valid passport is required, and you must apply for a visa at an Australian embassy or consulate or online through the Australian Government’s Department of Home Affairs website.
Note: Always check the latest entry requirements based on your nationality before planning your trip, as regulations can change.
