FAQs

Question

If I am traveling from out of the country, do I need a visa?

Answer

Yes! You will need to get an ETA visa before you travel to Australia. The easiest and fastest way to go about this is to download the AustralianETA app and apply that way. Although this is incredibly fast (I got mine within 15 minutes of applying), I would go through this process sooner rather than later (allow yourself at least 2 weeks) in case you run into any roadblocks.
