Australia eVisitor

The Australia eVisitor (subclass 651) is an electronic travel authorization that allows citizens of specific countries to visit Australia for tourism or business purposes. It is valid for 12 months from the date of approval. Travelers can enter Australia multiple times during that period, with each stay lasting up to 3 months. The eVisitor is entirely digital and is linked electronically to the traveler’s passport.

The application process is completed online and usually processed within a few days, although it’s recommended to apply well in advance of travel. The eVisitor is ideal for short-term stays such as vacations, family visits, business meetings or attending conferences. However, it does not permit work or long-term study. Travelers must hold a passport from an eligible country, have no serious criminal convictions, and meet basic health and character requirements.
