Tourist Visa
Depending on your citizenship, you may need a visa to visit Australia. Your citizenship, the reason for your visit and the length of your stay will determine what type of visa you will need. The following are Australian visitor visas:
- ETA Visitor. A three-month visa for people of designated countries.
- eVisitors. A three-month tourist or business visa for Europeans.
- Tourist Visa. A 12-month tourist visa.
- Family Visitor Visa. A 12-month visa for people visiting Australian family.
The ETA (Visitor) visa
This three-month Australian tourist visa is titled the ETA (Visitor) visa. ETA stands for the Electronic Travel Authority which is an online system that manages these short-term visitor visas.
These visas are relatively simple to acquire, there is no visa stamp or label to be placed in a passport nor any application forms. Most ETA visas are granted automatically in an online process through the ETA.
